Mini-Pupillage

We offer two mini-pupillages per year. Each mini-pupillage will last for two to three days within the first two weeks of July. Applications must be received between 1st May and 1st June. Applications received outside that period will not be considered.

Mini-pupillage is not a pre-requisite for applying for pupillage at Gough Square. We only offer limited places due to the small size of chambers and the nature of our practice.

Mini-pupillages are available to those who have a keen interest in applying for pupillage at Gough Square and wish to spend a few days with chambers.

Applicants should have spent at least six months studying law at university level and have, or expect to obtain, the academic qualifications required for full pupillage. All applications will be considered in accordance with our Equal Opportunities Policy.

Applications, by way of a CV and covering letter, should be sent to Ruth Bala, Gough Square Chambers, 6-7 Gough Square, London, EC4A 3DE.

Tenants

Any person wishing to apply to join Chambers should write in confidence to the Head of Chambers, Claire Andrews.

“Make no bones about it, Gough Square corners the consumer law market” ... “A seriously good bunch of people”, who display an “absolute mastery, of their subject, from finance to food. Clients appreciate the fact that the barristers here are commercially focused and very quick on the uptake - you hit the ground running with them”
