We are ranked as the number one planning, property and environmental chambers in the UK by the top legal directories. Landmark is consistently regarded as one of the leading sets in our other main areas of work and has won Set of the Year, Real Estate Set of the Year and Planning/Environmental Set of the Year at recent industry awards.
As well as offering junior tenants access to some of the most high-profile cases in our core areas, Landmark prides itself on providing an excellent support infrastructure, investing in ongoing training and development for all members and providing a dedicated Practice Management Team designed to assist new barristers establishing their careers.
Members have been involved in some of the most significant cases and inquiries in recent years, including Crossrail and HS2, Marks and Spencer v SSLUHC, Friends of the Earth and South Lakeland Action Group v West Cumbria Mining Ltd, the Supreme Court property cases Fearn and others v The Board of Trustees of the Tate Gallery and Darwall v Dartmoor National Park Authority, the Infected Blood, Post Office Horizon IT and UK Covid-19 Inquiries and the infringement of LGBTQ+ rights case Jones v AG Trinidad & Tobago.
Landmark is the UK’s leading specialist Chambers in planning and infrastructure, environmental, property and public law.
During your four seats of pupillage, we will encourage you to work for a cross-section of members and we will arrange for our silks to act as your satellite supervisors on more complex cases. This will allow you to see a wide variety of work and take advantage of Landmark’s unique position as a leading specialist set, with significant overlap between its private and public law practices. In your second six months you will also be offered opportunities to appear in court of your own accord, usually in the County Court or First-tier Tribunal.
We are committed to providing our pupils with high-quality and constructive training. To that end, you will receive regular feedback from your supervisors and, at the end of the first and third seats, you will be invited to participate in formal feedback sessions with the chair and secretaries of our pupillage committee. Finally, our pupils participate in and receive feedback in relation to, three written and one oral advocacy assessments during their pupillage year.
All applications for pupillage must be made through the Pupillage Gateway and further information may be found on our Chambers’ website.
Landmark runs a comprehensive mini-pupillage programme from Chambers’ offices in London, taking up to 60 students per annum for a period of three to five days’ duration.
Landmark Chambers believes that it is important to ensure that students from all backgrounds are able to undertake their mini-pupillage at minimal expense to themselves and in doing so, improve social mobility at, and access to, the Bar. We therefore offer all mini-pupils a maximum reimbursement of £100 for reasonable travel and lunch expenses. Additionally, Landmark operates a discretionary accommodation funding scheme for students visiting from outside of London.

Landmark is working to improve social mobility at the Bar and increase access to the legal profession. We believe that by working towards a profession that is ‘representative of all and for all’; we can better serve our clients and our wider communities. Landmark is involved with several initiatives to support this aim.
Pupillage award of £75,000, of which £30,000 may be taken as an early drawdown.
