FAQ 22

Q22. May I set up Chambers with colleagues?

A22. Similar rules apply to those for sole practitioners. There must be one qualified person in Chambers (i.e. a barrister who has been in practice for 6 years out of the last 8 and who has held full rights of audience for at least 2 years) for every three barristers who have been in practice for less than 3 years.

It would be prudent to look at the Practice Management Guidelines and to have a full constitution and arrangements for dealing with the requirements of those standards before setting up a new set.
