We are delighted to announce that former pupils Monique Bouffé and Christopher Meiring have officially joined chambers as members.

After twelve months of hard work and excellent feedback at Outer Temple Chambers, we are delighted to announce that Monique Bouffé and Christopher Meiring have joined chambers as new tenants following their pupillage. They are therefore now official chambers members.

Chief Executive Rebecca Priestly said “Warm congratulations to Monique and Chris who have joined Outer Temple Chambers as full tenants, following highly successful Pupillages. Monique & Chris are exceptionally talented and capable and we are sure they will thrive as barristers. We welcome them to the Outer Temple team.”

Head of pupillage, Saul Margo, has said “We are delighted that Monique and Chris accepted their offers of tenancy and have now begun what are certain to be fantastic careers as members of OTC. It is always a pleasure to see our pupils obtain offers of tenancy and then to succeed as members of Chambers. I have no doubt that is what Monique and Chris will now go on to do. OTC is very lucky to have them.”
