Joseph Sinclair and Rachel Pain have completed their first six and are now taking instructions

Mountford Chambers is pleased to announce that our two pupils, Joseph Sinclair and Rachel Pain, have completed their first six and are now taking instructions in their own cases.

Prior to pupillage, Joseph worked as an associate researcher at an anti-corruption charity, gaining experience in bribery proceedings, asset recovery, sanctions and mutual legal assistance, with a focus on freezing orders brought in under the Criminal Finances Act 2017.  He was also a specialist caseworker at a firm of immigration solicitors working on citizenship deprivation proceedings, complex appeals and advising on points of diplomatic law.

Rachel has experience in a wide range of criminal matters. She also has experience of challenging public bodies, including a successful judicial review of the Legal Aid Agency and has assisted with challenges to the Ministry of Justice and the Metropolitan Police Service.
