Tenancy

4 King’s Bench Walk’s reputation is founded upon the quality of our specialist advocacy and advice, and we place great emphasis on junior tenants acquiring as much advocacy experience as possible in their initial years of practice. We reinforce this with a heavy investment in advocacy training in-house, and provide for a planned structure for the career development of each new tenant.

In line with planned expansion, applications are invited from common law, commercial and personal injury practitioners.

Applications should include a curriculum vitae and covering letter, and should be addressed to the Recruitment Committee.

Location

Chambers’ imposing location in one of the oldest surviving buildings in Temple, with modern amenities, provides an ideal location for both established and more junior practitioners. Members have access to up-to-date IT facilities in the building, and the superb online and traditional resources of the Inner Temple Library are but 100 metres away.

Facilities

Chambers has 2 bespoke dedicated conference rooms providing a modern comfortable working environment for meetings and presentations.

Technology

Chambers has recently completed an upgrade in its infrastructure, with the replacement of the ACE Infinity system and the successful migration to Meridien Law. This is available networked to members in chambers and also available to members by remote access from their home computers or Blackberries. Members have access to the chambers network, and ADSL to the desk or by wireless access point. All members have their own e-mail and personal direct telephone lines in addition to Chambers’ general numbers.

Rent

As a new set of chambers the infrastructure, staff and business plan has been built and structured around the needs of successful practising barristers rather then legacy policies and procedures. This streamlined approach to delivery of services and complementary administration coupled with a unique transparent and regulated fiscal management delivers a 1st class administrative hub and low rents. A fixed rent structure is extremely beneficial for successful senior practitioners who are not penalised on their receipts. Forward planning with short and medium term goals are supported by chambers positive balance operating policy.

We select candidates solely on merit irrespective of race, ethnic or national origin, nationality, citizenship, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age, religion, political persuasion or disability.
