Deka Chambers is delighted to announce that Bethany Hutchison joins us as a tenant from today, 1 August 2025, having accepted an offer of tenancy following successful completion of a third six pupillage.
Bethany brings a valuable breadth of experience to Deka Chambers; she transferred her practice from the Government Legal Department where she undertook her pupillage and subsequently worked as a legal adviser. Prior to her career in law, she worked in the private sector as a management consultant, and the public sector as a Senior Policy Advisor. Her varied portfolio makes her a versatile and adaptable advocate. She accepts instructions across the range of Deka Chambers’ practice areas and is developing a busy practice.
We wish her every success for her career.
