A Distinctive Culture

Taking great pride in fostering a distinctive attitude and culture among our barristers and staff, we challenge some of the preconceptions of a traditional barristers’ chambers.

Outer Temple Chambers is a positive place for our clients to visit and our staff to work, where everyone is treated with tolerance and respect. View our Equality and Diversity Policy.

A refreshing attitude

Great care is taken to ensure that every contact with us is a positive experience for our clients. This includes the way you are looked after when you visit chambers, the ease with which you can contact your barrister and how you are kept up to date with your case. We want our clients to recommend us.

Personal qualities

Our barristers and staff are our greatest asset and our services can only be as good as the people who deliver them. We therefore seek to recruit only the very best. They are not only technically capable and commercially astute, but professional and friendly, and they get the training and support they need to deliver a high standard of customer service.

Positive about diversity

We want to be able to work with clients from all backgrounds. We encourage difference and diversity and are totally committed to equality of opportunity. We aim to be open, friendly and approachable so that all clients feel comfortable working with us. By doing this we hope to create a positive environment for positive outcomes.
