Pupils who do not gain tenancy in the chambers at which they complete their pupillage may be able to apply for a fixed-term period of practise (commonly referred to as a ‘third six’) at another set.
Outer Temple Chambers occasionally recruits to fill fixed term placements when it determines there is a need to support and develop practice areas of specific teams and internal work-groups.
All vacancies are advertised both through the Bar Council’s website and below.
Prospective applicants should note that, as per Part 4 of the Bar Qualification Manual, “third six pupillages” do not form part of the regulated period of pupillage.
Health Team
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an ambitious probationary tenant to join the Health Team at Outer Temple Chambers with view to tenancy.
Outer Temple Chambers is an established leading set of chambers providing bespoke legal services for solicitors, in-house counsel, professional clients and private individuals. Our success is built on sound legal advice and effective problem solving, focused wholly on the individual needs of our clients.
Fostered by an open and diverse culture that makes us easy to work with, we have barristers spanning all levels of expertise. Many are highly respected leaders in their respective fields, and Chambers was voted Personal Injury Set of the Year by Chambers UK Bar Awards 2023 and is nominated for the same award in the current contest.
Applications are invited from pupils who are completing or have completed a 12-month pupillage in a set which has provided them with experience in one or more of the areas of work covered by our Health Department Team (Clinical Negligence, Personal Injury, Product Liability, Court of Protection, Travel Law) and wish to join our collaborative, dynamic and impressive legal team, providing exceptional legal services in the UK and internationally. Applicants who succeed in becoming tenants of Chambers will be expected to develop their practices in the Health Department and will be clerked by the Health Department clerking team.
