Serle Court Welcomes Two New Tenants

Serle Court is pleased to announce that Sessi Hundeyin and Jonathan Bernhardt have joined chambers as our newest junior tenants, effective today, Thursday, 1 October 2026, following the successful completion of their pupillage.

Sessi Hundeyin is building a broad commercial chancery practice and accepts instructions across Chambers’ core specialisms. As a pupil, Sessi gained experience in a wide range of contentious and advisory work, including commercial litigation, civil fraud, arbitration, insolvency, private client, and international and offshore matters.

Sessi joined Chambers in October 2026, following the successful completion of pupillage under the supervision of Oliver Jones, Marc Delehanty, Gregor Hogan and Sophie Holcombe.

Jonathan Bernhardt is building a broad commercial and chancery practice across Chambers’ practice areas.

Jonathan joined chambers in 2026 following the successful completion of pupillage under Jonathan McDonagh, Oliver Jones, James Weale KC and Zahler Bryan.

Before he joined the Bar, Jonathan assisted a number of barristers with a range of arbitration proceedings in the context of shipping & commodities and investor-State disputes. He continues to accept instructions in these areas.

Chambers Director, Kathryn Purkis said: “Chambers is truly delighted to welcome Sessi and Jonathan to its ranks today. They have both performed exceptionally in their pupillages and easily earned their places in our cohort of thriving junior talent.  We wish them all success, and feel sure that they will flourish in their careers at the Bar.“
