We are looking to recruit two Probationary Tenants, starting no later than October 2025.

Focusing on Chancery (traditional and commercial), Insolvency and Intellectual Property practice areas, applicants will be completing or have already completed, pupillage at other leading commercial, chancery or insolvency sets.

Probationary tenancy is an opportunity for further training and (for the right candidate) to begin to build a practice that will bring not only the desired financial reward but repeat instructions at an ever growing level of weight, complexity and diversity.

The successful candidate will produce draft pleadings, advices and skeleton arguments in his or her pupil supervisor’s cases, attend court and conferences with solicitors and lay clients, and receive regular feedback.

Unusually for sets in our areas of expertise probationary tenancy provides a real opportunity for the right candidate (after an initial assessment period) to begin to build a practice by appearing in Court on their own and in led work, and undertaking their own paperwork. He or she can expect to appear regularly in Court.

More information about the role can be found here.

How to apply:
Applications should be made by way of email to Justin Brown accompanied by:

(1) a detailed CV which sets out the nature of the work and practice you have carried out and observed during your first and second pupillages,

(2) a selection of anonymised pleadings, skeleton arguments and opinions produced during pupillage

(3) confirmation of your pupil supervisors during the past 9 to 6 months, and

(4) a covering letter to our Senior Clerk, Justin Brown.
