New Heads of Chambers elected at Outer Temple Chambers

Outer Temple is delighted to announce that Nathan Tavares KC has been elected as Head of the Health Department, and Eliot Woolf KC as Deputy Head of the Health Department in a recent member vote.

Nathan Tavares KC and Eliot Woolf KC have been elected as Heads of Chambers (Health Department) by their colleagues in Jan 2024 after having acted as Co-Heads for the Health Department for the past two years.

James Counsell KC, Head of Governance, in an announcement to Chambers, said,

“I’m delighted to be able to announce that Nathan Tavares KC has been elected (unopposed) as the Head of the Health Department. Nathan will make a great Head of the team. Eliot Woolf has been elected (also unopposed) as Deputy Head of the Health Department. That is not only a reflection of how highly they are both regarded in chambers but, perhaps more importantly, an endorsement of all the work which both Eliot and Nathan have been doing for us, as acting heads for the best part of two years.”
