Why not make a change and join KBG Chambers!

KBG Chambers are delighted to invite applications for full and probationary tenancy in Family Law.

KBG Chambers has a very well-established family law practice group, and members deal with all aspects of family law matters. Counsel practice in all tiers of the Family Court, in the High Court and the Court of Appeal. Our Family Barristers offer thorough and conscientious preparation and combine this with outstanding advocacy skills to assist in achieving the best outcomes for clients. Our team has strength in its numbers and the depth of experience offered by its members. Counsel are very frequently involved in some of the most serious, high profile cases in the region and are regularly instructed in very complex matters. We are equally committed to cases in the lower courts where the outcome for the clients is just as significant.

We are the most competitive on the Western Circuit in terms of counsel's fees and have a fantastic online library, complete with red book, white book, Archbold, Hershman & McFarlane.

Access to your diary 24/7 is provided and full reporting available with our clerking team building you a practice from day 1.

As we are based in Devon & Cornwall the opportunities to have a healthy work life balance are available and we pride ourselves on the efforts made to factor in those who wish to work a set number of days, weeks or parts of the year.

About the candidate:           

With the guidance, and support, from our members and clerking team, we will look to build you a practice that suits you, your experience and lifestyle. We cater for all different types of personal circumstances and can maintain or develop any individual practice.

New tenants can take advantage of our welcome package and probationary tenants do not pay chambers' rent, have a supervisor and will be given a junior tenant as a mentor.

You would be welcome to apply to be a tenant after 3 months and our clerking team will look to build you a practice for the future from day 1!
