The expertise and breadth of experience of Tanfield's Private Client Group complements Tanfield's reputation as a leading property set. The group's work encompasses matrimonial finance, trusts of land, inheritance, probate, trusts, Court of Protection and private children work.

Applications are invited for a third-six pupillage from intellectually able applicants, preferably with a first or upper second-class degree. Applicants for this position will be expected to have an interest primarily in matrimonial finance (financial remedies) and to have extensive experience in their first 12 months of pupillage of such work. Applicants should also be willing to gain experience of other areas of our private client work, especially trusts of land, Inheritance Act, Court of Protection and private children work, and to develop these as part of their practice. Prior experience in these areas is not a requirement.

Tanfield prides itself on its friendly and informal approach to professional clients, lay clients and public access clients.  Chambers adopts a pro-active and involved approach to pupillage.

Candidates will be expected to have outstanding academic credentials, strong inter-personal skills, excellent references, and to be ambitious, motivated and committed to excellence.  Tanfield is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and to the promotion of access to the Bar, irrespective of a candidate's background.  The third six month pupil will be allocated a member of chambers as a mentor (akin to a pupil supervisor) as well as a more junior barrister, who will have a similar but less formal role.  The third six month pupillage is unfunded (i.e. the successful applicant will be expected to generate their own income and to pay their own expenses).  An application can be made for tenancy during or at the conclusion of the third six pupillage.

If you are interested in taking on third six pupillage at Tanfield Chambers, please email gevans@tanfieldchambers.co.uk enclosing (1) a covering letter, to include, if applicable, whether Chambers needs to make any reasonable adjustments to address any disability from which you may suffer (2) a full and an up-to-date copy of your CV (3) names and contact details of two referees (4) optionally, a completed copy of the diversity monitoring questionnaire which can be downloaded  here.

Pallant Chambers is looking for a Third 6 pupil to join its Civil (chancery) team, with a view to becoming a long-term part of our development for the future. 

Chambers offers the chance to maintain and develop a successful practice while living in the beautiful surroundings of a Cathedral city and the West Sussex countryside.  Chambers is consistently top ranked in the South-Eastern section of the Legal 500, with 17 individual nominations for its barristers in the last edition; we pride ourselves on providing high quality specialist advice and advocacy, and look to recruit like-minded individuals to continue to take Chambers forward.

The successful candidate will be carefully supported by his or her own pupil supervisor and be given the chance to learn from other senior and junior members of the team, but will also be able to develop his or her own practice.  We are particularly interested in pupils wishing to specialise in property, commercial and/or inheritance disputes, though pupils should naturally expect to be exposed to a range of different cases as they begin their career.

Applications should be made by CV and covering letter to the senior clerk, Alister Williams
