Description of Chambers 4 Pump Court is a leading set of commercial barristers’ chambers, with a reputation for excellence in advocacy. We pride ourselves on our reputation as an approachable, supportive and friendly place to work. Areas of work The work of chambers covers virtually every aspect of commercial law, with particular expertise in: construction and engineering; international arbitration; energy; insurance and reinsurance; technology and telecommunications; shipping; banking; and professional negligence. We are ranked highly in the legal directories in all our areas of specialism. Who should apply We look to recruit bright, independent-minded candidates with excellent academic qualifications (minimum 2.1) who have the potential to become outstanding barristers and advocates. They will be articulate and confident, and have the ability to get on with people and to demonstrate common sense and sound judgment. We are committed to equal opportunities and diversity, and select candidates for pupillage and tenancy solely on merit. Pupillage programme Our pupils have three pupil supervisors (two in the first six, one in the second six) so they experience as broad a range of our work as possible. In the second six months they undertake a significant case load of their own. We place great emphasis on the development of advocacy skills and are committed to giving our pupils as much court experience as we can. When and how to apply We are recruiting for pupillage commencing October 2022. We are outside the Pupillage Gateway but follow the same application timetable. Applications for pupillage must be made on our standard application form, which can be downloaded from our website, and submitted online, or by email to pupillage@4pumpcourt.com, or by post. Mini-pupillages Limited places are available throughout the year upon application by completing the application form available to download from our website, to be submitted to minipupillage@4pumpcourt.com. Sponsorship/funding Two funded pupillages with awards of £70,000, of which up to £15,000 may be advanced during the Bar Professional Training Course. Any fees earned in the second six months are in addition to the award.
