About AETO and Structure of Pupillage
Barristers have been practising from Albion Chambers since 1843 and we are proud of our excellent reputation across the Western Circuit and beyond for integrity, approachability and the highest quality of advice and advocacy.
Chambers is led by Adam Vaitilingam KC and has 71 barristers including three King’s Counsel. There are three door tenants, two of which are King’s Counsel. Situated in the centres of Bristol and Taunton, Albion Chambers is very close to all local courts.
We recognise the importance of high levels of service to our professional and lay clients. We were the first set of chambers in Bristol to be awarded Bar Mark, the Bar Council’s quality standard and were proud to be awarded the Legal Services commission’s standard; Quality Mark in 2003.
Our teams of committed specialists practise throughout the South West, and beyond. They provide clear, strong, expeditious and practical advice and representation. Our highly-skilled team support staff offer friendly and efficient service to professional and lay clients.
Our twelve month pupillage consists of two six month stages. The first six will be a non-practising period spent shadowing your pupil supervisor on a daily basis. Your second six will be a practising period, under the supervision of your supervisor.
