Pupillage Vacancy Information
About Authorised Education and Training Organisation and Structure of Pupillage
North Square Barristers is a Barristers’ Chambers based in the north-east of England. We were established on 1st March 2023 and have gone from strength to strength since then, both in terms of the quality of our instructions and the number of pupils and barristers in chambers.
We have a wide portfolio of varied and high-quality work and have a vision of developing into a leading set of chambers in the region and nationally.
We serve a wide range of clientele, and value every client relationship greatly. Each engagement benefits from the depth and breadth of our expertise. We approach every client with a focus on integrity, advocacy, and understanding. We aim to develop our areas of practice and pursue effective expansion. To this end, we take very seriously the commitment to building a strong team in a friendly and dynamic environment.
We are inviting applications for one pupillage to commence in September 2024. Our workload is growing rapidly, with members taking on matters of genuinely high quality. We are keen to increase our numbers to deal with this swift upturn in chambers’ instructions and are committed to offering the best possible guidance and opportunity to those who wish to join a growing set.
As a small and relatively new, but rapidly growing, set, we involve ourselves to a great extent in self-promotion and marketing, in order that our members may build their own practices and reputations, and also those of chambers in general. We offer a friendly, familial and down to earth environment, and every encouragement and support to members in making a success of their careers at the Bar.
We take pupils on with a view to offering tenancy at the conclusion of their pupillage and view continued training and recruitment of junior tenants as imperative to our progression. Tenancy will be awarded on merit and to those who have demonstrated the necessary skills and commitment to succeed.
Pupils and tenants to us are an investment in our future, and we only recruit those who we foresee as being valued members of our team for years to come. Please see below for details of how to apply.
