International placement programme

International chambers placement programmes for young lawyers

Our international placement programmes are designed to give junior lawyers practical exposure to legal practice in England and Wales. From 1 to 12 June 2026, we'll host junior lawyers from our partner Bar Association in South Korea. This year's placement also coincides with London International Disputes Week.

We offer participants insight into the English and Welsh legal systems, alongside opportunities to engage with legal institutions, practitioners, and peers. During the visits we trade knowledge, culture and contacts to strengthen our practice and build new relationships.  

Chambers involvement is a core part of our programme and plays an integral role in supporting professional development and international engagement.

The placement typically includes:

  • A short bespoke academic programme
  • A series of legal seminars and vocational training sessions
  • A one-week placement in a barristers chambers

There will also be networking opportunities including visits to key legal institutions, such as courts.

How can your chambers support the programme?

You're invited to support the programme by:

Hosting up to two visiting lawyers for one week

  • Placements would involve shadowing barristers, observing hearings, and gaining insight into day-to-day practice
  • Visiting lawyers will be matched to chambers with aligned practice areas, to ensure the placement is as relevant and beneficial as possible

Delivering a training session

  • Deliver a training session or seminar for the cohort
  • Sessions would be led by you and draw on your areas of practice, or focus on broader themes such as advocacy, international disputes or arbitration

Please complete the form indicating which part of the placement you'd like to get involved in.
