Description of Chambers Falcon Chambers is recognised by the legal directories, solicitors and clients as the leading property chambers. Many of the major practitioner texts relating to property law are written by our members. We place a lot of importance on being a friendly, closely integrated group of colleagues. Many former members of chambers have become judges, including the former President of The Supreme Court Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury, Lord Justice Lewison, Mr Justice Morgan and Mr Justice Fancourt. Areas of work Members of chambers are heavily involved in litigation in the real property, landlord and tenant and property-related fields, including cases involving insolvency, trusts, banking, revenue, professional negligence, environmental and treasury work. We are involved in both contentious and non-contentious work. Who should apply Applications are welcome from all who have or expect to achieve a 2.1 or first in their degree, including students who have not yet completed a first degree, or non-law students who have not yet completed a GDL. The successful applicant will absorb complex information and identify essential points and practical solutions quickly; communicate clearly, concisely and persuasively, both orally and in writing; and remain calm, objective and confident while working under pressure. Pupillage programme Our current policy is to offer up to two pupillages each year, each of which is for 12 months. Pupils are allocated to a different pupil supervisor every three months in order to see a range of work and practices. We aim to give our pupils a good grounding in advocacy, in addition to the courses offered by the Inns, by providing structured advocacy training throughout the year. Few of our applicants will have studied our speciality in any depth, and therefore we provide an intensive course in landlord and tenant law at Falcon Chambers usually held in the last week of September, immediately prior to the commencement of pupillage. When and how to apply Falcon Chambers does not receive applications through the Pupillage Gateway. Applications should be made on Chambers’ application form which will be available from the website from around the beginning of December 2019 for pupillages starting in October 2021. The closing date is yet to be confirmed but will be in early January 2020. Interviews are held in January and February. More details are available on our website. Mini-pupillages Our mini-pupillages are not assessed, and there is no requirement that you come to chambers on a mini-pupillage before you apply for a pupillage. We do, however, encourage interested students to visit us for a few days to experience life at Falcon Chambers. We find that those who do so invariably apply to us for pupillage. The programme lasts for three days (usually Tuesday to Thursday), during which time we try to ensure that you will spend some time in court, sit in on a conference with clients and also sample some paperwork. We hold three mini-pupillage sessions each year, full details along with dates, when to apply and the application form are all available on our website. Sponsorship/funding Our pupillage award is £65,000 per pupil (for those starting in October 2021), of which up to £22,000 is available for drawdown during the BPTC year. In addition, in their second six months, pupils can expect to earn some additional income from their own work. Successful pupils who become junior tenants are usually fully employed doing their own work shortly after being taken on.
