How to apply

Pupillage Gateway

Banking & finance

Barristers and banks generally cross paths when something costly has gone wrong in relation to a transaction or product.

Civil law

Civil law involves relations between persons, and between persons and organisations.

Commercial dispute resolution

The commercial Bar covers a range of areas, including banking, sale of goods and shipping, insolvency, civil fraud, and insurance/reinsurance.

Company law

Company law is relevant to almost everything a company does, from filing annual returns to proper procedure in relation to board decisions.

Competition

Competition and regulatory work involves a mixture of commercial, public and European law.

European Union and international

Employment barristers may appear before the International Court of Justice, the European Court of Human Rights, international tribunals and domestic courts.

Insolvency/restructuring

Some of the biggest insolvencies have billions of pounds at stake, so there can be lucrative work for barristers.

Insurance/reinsurance

Insurance is one of the UK's most well-established and valuable industries.

IP barristers advise on issues such as infringement disputes, issues on validity of registered IP rights, and commercial agreements that deal either exclusively with IP rights or with IP rights in the wider context of larger commercial transactions.

International arbitration

When parties from different jurisdictions come into conflict over commercial relationships, they may decide that arbitration is the best method of resolution.

Professional negligence

Barristers involved in this field deal with claims against professionals such as architects, accountants, solicitors and financial advisers.

Regulatory

Whether it’s EU-originated, domestic or an industry code of conduct, regulation affects all aspects of civil life and commercial activity.

Revenue law

Tax barristers advise and litigate on all aspects of commercial and personal tax issues.

Sports & entertainment

Among the different types of client are professional athletes; their managers, coaches and agents; sports clubs and brand sponsors.

Technology, media and telecommunications

Media and entertainment barristers have clients in a variety of sectors, including theatre, film, music, publishing, broadcasting, sport and advertising.
