One of the key attractions for our pupils is the range of work which we can offer, as well as the fact that Chambers ensures that all pupils get a lot of real advocacy experience in their second six.

Junior tenants at 4 Pump Court can expect to gain the valuable experience of working closely with more senior members of Chambers as juniors on the largest commercial disputes. This is something other leading commercial sets do not currently offer. They can also expect to have a real practice of their own, regularly appearing in Court and dealing with solicitors and clients independently from the very beginning of their second six. We believe that this combination ensures that we develop some of the most confident and skilled advocates at the commercial bar.

We recognise that when you arrive at 4 Pump Court as a pupil you may not have fixed ideas about the areas of law which most interest you. Accordingly we aim to give you an opportunity to experience as many of Chambers’ key practice areas as possible. These are:

Commercial / Insurance

There is a wide range of commercial work, including insurance and reinsurance disputes, banking, international arbitration, commercial fraud, and the sale and carriage of goods.

Construction

We are one of the leading sets of Chambers specialising in building and construction law, including energy and offshore construction. We regularly appear in the Technology and Construction Court (part of the High Court) as well as arbitrations (both UK and international arbitrations), adjudications and mediations.

Professional Negligence

We have a wealth of experience acting for and against all kinds of professionals, including solicitors and barristers, architects, engineers, surveyors and valuers, accountants, auditors and actuaries, brokers, consultants, agents and IT professionals, bankers, financial intermediaries and advisers.

Technology & Telecommunications

Chambers is the leading set for IT disputes. Members of Chambers are frequently instructed on behalf of both clients and contractors when the biggest IT projects become the subject of legal proceedings or arbitrations.

Shipping

We have a strong group of barristers who specialise in litigation and arbitration concerning shipping disputes, particularly those arising from shipbuilding.
