Pupillage Vacancy Information
About Authorised Education and Training Organisation
We are a specialist revenue law set of Chambers. Our work covers all areas of United Kingdom taxation and many of us practise in the European and international tax law fields. Tax law involves the analysis of many other areas of law and pupillage applicants should expect to be working on issues of trust, contract, land, European Union, human rights, and company law.
Structure of Pupillage
Pupils will be assigned to one pupil supervisor but will additionally spend time with most or all members of Chambers. This ensures that each pupil is exposed to all areas of Chambers' work. Much of pupillage will be spent in Chambers, reading papers in matters on which a member of Chambers is advising, gaining an understanding of the issues, and sitting in on conferences. Due to the great emphasis on excellent written work, in particular opinion writing and drafting, there will be opportunities throughout pupillage to impress in that way. Whilst there is considerable advisory work, practice at the Tax Bar now often revolves around court and tribunal appearances. In previous years, pupils have attended the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court as well as the specialist tax courts.
Financial and Other Support Available
There is the ability to draw down up to £25,000 of the award one year prior to pupillage commencing.
Equality Diversity and Inclusion
Gray's Inn Tax Chambers are committed to promote a working environment, which is conducive to the professional growth of its members and employees and to the promotion of equality of opportunity and diversity. Our aim is to encourage and support diversity, equality and inclusion and actively promote a culture that values differences and eliminates discrimination in the workplace.
