"Serle Court is a friendly, inclusive chambers which welcomes excellent advocates and thinkers from all backgrounds."
Elizabeth Jones KC, Head of Chambers

Established Practitioners

Over the last few years, a number of high-quality practitioners (both silks and established juniors) have joined Serle Court from other leading sets. We have aimed to facilitate a smooth transition between sets and provide a happy and supportive working environment for new members.

Chambers has recently resolved upon a programme of strategic expansion in the coming years. We now invite applications from silks and juniors over 10 years’ call with excellent reputations and established and successful practices in the following practice areas:

  • Commercial litigation and arbitration
  • Civil fraud
  • Partnership
  • Company
  • Insolvency
  • Intellectual property
  • Charities
  • Real property, where, in addition, we seek applications from juniors at every level of call.

We remain interested in hearing from first-class experienced practitioners in our other fields of practice, or in the fields listed above but at a more junior level. Juniors under 7 years’ call generally need to demonstrate not only exceptional ability but also that they will bring a busy practice with them. In the case of specialist property juniors, portability of practice is a desirable but not a necessary criterion.

As noted elsewhere, Serle Court is committed to fostering equality and diversity in Chambers and strongly values the benefits that difference in background, experience and perspective can bring. We particularly welcome and strongly encourage applications from women and candidates from an ethnic minority background or with a disability, as well as candidates from other groups which are under-represented in the legal sector.

For further information or an informal discussion, in the strictest of confidence, please contact Chambers Director, Kathryn Purkis  (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)), or Lance Ashworth KC, Chair of the Tenancy Committee (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)).
