4 Stone Buildings, UK

I first became aware of 4 Stone Buildings through advertisements in Target Law and other legal press. I undertook a mini-pupillage here before the application season opened. My experience during that week was the main motivation behind my applying for a pupillage. Chambers’ excellent reputation in the market for commercial chancery work was evident. Members at all levels were involved in a variety of interesting and important cases at the time instructed by a range of well known City firms. Importantly, everyone, from the clerks to Head of Chambers, was extremely friendly and welcoming. I found the general atmosphere to be much more relaxed than had been the case in other high profile chambers in which I had undertaken mini-pupillages and that especially attracted me.

Serle Court, UK

Chambers first came to my attention at the start of my research into various sets as it is one of the leading sets in the field which I wanted to work in. When I looked into it, I thought the Chambers website and pupillage brochure were informative and helpful in making me decide to apply here.
