Third Six Pupillage

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
• can work and deal with a range of people, including clients and clerks, as well as being reliable and capable of working alone.

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).
