The chambers specialises in professional negligence, property damage, insurance and personal injury and also has significant practices in employment, technology, product liability, sport and clinical negligence, alongside strength in private international law.

Pupil profile

Academically, you will need at least a high 2:1 degree to be considered. Chambers look for applicants who work well in teams and have the ability to get on with solicitors, clients and other members of chambers.

Pupillage

Chambers offers one of the most generously funded, well-structured and enjoyable pupillages at the Bar. It takes pupillage very seriously and aims to recruit the best applicants, and to ensure that its pupils have an excellent foundation from which to start a successful career at the Bar. Pupils have three different pupil supervisors during pupillage, and will also do work for other members of chambers. The aim is for pupils to experience as much of chambers’ work as possible during their pupillage year.

Mini-pupillages

Mini-pupillage is the best way to get a feel for life at 2TG. Chambers offer 12 mini-pupillages per year in three set weeks. Mini-pupillages are three days long and during that time you will see a range of barristers’ work. You will be asked to undertake an assessed piece of work and a short interview at the conclusion of the mini-pupillage.

Details of mini pupillage dates for 2024 will be set out on the 2TG website.

Applications are accepted via the website by completing the online form.
