Pupillage at Mountford Chambers

Mountford Chambers offers an exceptional package of funding and training within its pupillage structure, and we have attracted many excellent candidates in recent years. We have been able to offer tenancies to most of our pupils on successful completion of their pupillage. We strive to offer the very best training for a successful career at the Bar and we endeavour to recruit candidates with the potential and talent to become future leaders in their field.

In order to ensure that we continue to recruit the best aspiring new barristers, following our relaunch we have significantly increased our pupillage awards which are now among the best in the market, and we have adjusted our marking criteria Applications for pupillage starting in Autumn 2024 will be considered through our own application form which can be found on our Pupillage page.
