Pupillage Application Window Now Open

We are currently accepting applications for pupillage. We will be recruiting up to three pupils to commence in October 2026.

We adhere to the central Bar Council timetable so all applications must be submitted by 11.59pm on 6th February 2025.

Deka Chambers is a common law set whose members practice across a range of areas of law. Our main areas of practice include personal injury, clinical negligence, crime, public family (care), private family (both children and adults), police, regulation, travel, inquests and Court of Protection work. Our barristers also practise in professional negligence, property, inquiry and public sector work. Many of our cases involve vulnerable and injured people, human rights considerations and matters of public interest.

Our pupils experience work in our main areas during the non-practising period of pupillage (the first six months) and undertake cases in a mixture of areas in the practising period (the second six). This arrangement provides enviable advocacy experience and develops an interesting and varied practice.
