Forum Chambers welcomes applications for third six pupils, such that an application may be made for full tenancy during or at the conclusion of the pupillage. Forum is proud of its record of recruiting barristers who do not fit out-dated stereotypes. At this time we are especially keen to consider applications from women and from ethnic minorities underrepresented at the Bar. We are also interested to receive applications from those who have originally qualified as solicitors or in another jurisdiction.
Forum is a dynamic, collaborative and diverse commercial set of Chambers. Our members practise across the range of commercial law including banking and financial services, professional negligence, civil fraud and insolvency.
Forum has taken on 100% of its third six pupils since its start in 2015. We recruit for potential, provide guidance, supervision and feedback during a third six pupillage, and then offer long term mentoring to enable our new tenants to develop successful careers in Chambers’ core areas of practice.
