We are advertising for third six pupils, with the intention of filling up to three vacancies.

Deka Chambers is a leading common law (mixed practice) set based in central London. Our pupils and junior tenants appear in court, across a range of jurisdictions, on a daily basis whilst managing paper practices dealing with advisory and drafting work.

Specifications

We are seeking up to three third six pupils to assist in meeting an ever-expanding base of work and as an opportunity to develop a common law practice at the Bar with a view to tenancy.

Each successful applicant will be someone who:

  • has the ability and desire to manage and develop a common law practice;
  • has proven skills in advocacy and legal analysis;
  • has experience in at least one of our main practice areas (with skills transferrable to the others); and

We are offering mixed practice third six pupillages. Each successful candidate will be expected to undertake work across all of our main areas. Where a pupil lacks experience or knowledge, support will be provided by supervisors and other members of chambers.

To apply, please send a CV and covering letter (explaining your motivations and suitability for the role) to pupillage@dekachambers.com. We ask that you nominate two referees when you apply (who will not be contacted unless and until an offer is contemplated).
