Pupillage Funding

It is Chambers’ intention to ensure that the opportunity to undertake pupillage is open to all upon merit and ability; it would be contrary to that intention, were offers based upon the ability and/or willingness of a particular candidate to fund themselves through pupillage. Accordingly, Chambers currently provides an award/guaranteed earnings of £40,000 for the 12 month period.

That £40,000 funding comprises of a total payment of £20,000 during the first six months of pupillage (First Six), paid in monthly instalments. This payment is made on the basis that the pupil continues as a pupil in Chambers during their First Six but, should that arrangement cease, for whatever reason, the payments will be stopped.

During the second six months of pupillage (Second Six), Chambers guarantees earnings up to a figure of £20,000. In the unlikely event that a pupil’s earnings do not exceed this sum in any given month, Chambers will pay the pupil the difference. During the Second Six, Chambers does not seek to recoup any fees on monies earned (pupils do not pay any rent to Chambers). Again, this payment is made on the basis that the pupil continues as a pupil in Chambers during their Second Six but, should that arrangement cease, for whatever reason, the payments will be stopped.

For Probationary Tenants, Chambers will provide guaranteed earnings at the same rate and on the same terms as for Second Six pupils.

 

It is a very impressive set, with quite a diverse range of characters. There is something for everybody.
