We are delighted to welcome Jessica Franklin and Sapandeep Singh Maini-Thompson to Outer Temple Chambers as new junior tenants.

Jessica Franklin and Sapandeep Singh Maini-Thompson joined the Outer Temple team in October, further bolstering our junior cohort of specialists to fulfill ever-growing demand.

Jessica Franklin joined the Bar in 2021 after a successful career in advertising and marketing. She now specialises in personal injury law and employment law. Jessica’s employment practice is particularly focused on discrimination, unfair dismissal and whistleblowing claims. She has a particular interest in personal injury claims brought in the Employment Tribunal and she has been instructed in claims involving not only psychiatric injuries but also physical injuries arising out of discrimination.  Her personal injury practice extends to a range of areas including disease, military accidents and stress at work claims. She has advised on several cases involving difficult vicarious liability issues and non-delegable duties of care. 

Practice Director, Paul Barton commented, “Jessica has worked with many of our members previously and comes highly recommended by her peers. She will undoubtedly complement our team and I am looking forward to working with her.”

Sapan Maini-Thompson practices in employment, discrimination, public law and professional discipline. Sapan represents Claimants and Respondents in both statutory and commercial employment matters. He also conducts employment-related investigations. In public law, Sapan practices primarily in education and equality law. He was recently appointed to the Attorney General’s C Panel of Counsel in his first year of eligibility and represents government departments across a wide range of litigation.

Practice Director Nicholas Levett commented, “Sapan already has a very impressive CV for someone of his year of call and I am delighted he has joined the team. We look forward to introducing him to our professional and lay clients, both existing and new.”
