Tenancy
“Tanfield is a busy and successful modern chancery set. We strive to provide the best possible level of service to our clients.
We are recognised as a leading, forward-looking set of chambers.
Currently our core areas of work are: property, commercial and employment. Members of chambers who specialise in wills, trusts, probate and matrimonial finance form a private client group.
We are always looking for high-calibre practitioners to join one of our practice groups.
At Tanfield barristers have the opportunity to build their practice in a friendly, dynamic and team-focused environment. Chambers is open to flexible working and ahs a generous Parental Leave policy. Chambers also offers the chance to share ownership of the freehold building from which we practise and a rent structure which reflects its out-of-Inn location.
Please send applications to Philip Rainey QC Chair of the Recruitment Committee.”
All applications will be treated in strictest confidence.
Pupillage
Tanfield Chambers adopts a pro-active and involved approach to pupillage, taking on two or three twelve-month pupils every year with a view to eventual tenancy. Our policy is only to recruit those we consider to be potential future tenants: it is unusual for us to recruit junior tenants who haven't completed at six months’ pupillage in Chambers.
When selecting candidates, academic strength is important (candidates will usually have a first class honours degree or a good 2:1). Tanfield Chambers is a forward-looking set with a strong focus on client service and we are keen to take on pupils who will make a positive contribution to the atmosphere and development of the chambers.
Tanfield Chambers is a firm believer in equal opportunities and we consider all applications for pupillage, tenancy or administrative positions on merit - regardless of age, sex, race, beliefs or physical ability.
In addition to twelve-month pupillages, we usually look to recruit an additional number of third-six pupils. We also have an active programme of mini-pupillage during vacation periods, encouraging those with an interest in chambers - or those contemplating a career at the Bar - to gain experience in an informal way
