About AETO and Structure of Pupillage
We are a civil set based in Nottingham but with a nationwide reach. We practise a wide variety of civil work from costs to commercial, personal injury to credit hire. In pupillage, we will endeavour to ensure that you are exposed to all areas of civil practice in readiness for tenancy.
We are offering two twelve month pupillages in 2024. The two pupils will commence their pupillage in October 2024. In the event that there are three exceptional pupils, Chambers will offer up to three pupillages. If three pupils are successful, it is anticipated that one will start in April 2024 and the other two pupils will start in October 2024.
