The chambers’ commitment to building a bench drawn from the broadest pool of substantive talent.
The chambers’ recruitment process is structured to identify substantive legal and professional talent across the full range of backgrounds, life experiences, and institutional affiliations. We optimise for the substantive judgement, work ethic, and intellectual discipline the chambers’ instructions require — not for a narrow profile.
We partner with diversity-affairs offices at the law schools we recruit from, with diversity-focused legal organizations and bar groups, and with regional pipeline programmes serving under-represented communities. The partnerships are substantive: we contribute member time, financial support, and recruiting-channel commitments.
The Council of Members publishes an annual review of the chambers’ composition, retention, and advancement metrics. The review is examined by an independent external advisor and is shared with clients on request.
