Meet Timothy Foot

Can you tell us a little about your experience as a new tenant?

Starting off as a tenant at Maitland is busy but rewarding. Throughout pupillage, you are trained in all the essential skills of being a commercial chancery barrister, including advocacy. 

As a new tenant, you get to put those skills into practice from day one. Maitland ensures that all its new tenants take on a balance of work, both led and unled, and I have loved honing the skills developed in pupillage to become a better advocate for my clients. 

The support from other members of Chambers is palpable, and members of all seniorities have always provided open ears and sound advice whenever I have needed them.
