JCT

What is the JCT?

Launched in March 2012, the JCT is made up of our brightest junior barristers in the early years of their careers practising in commercial, chancery and property law. It is proactive in forging and maintaining relationships with its contemporaries by hosting regular professional and social events. The JCT is modern in its outlook, and it thrives by having members who are not only very talented, but friendly and down-to-earth too. You can find a list of all the members below, where you can also view their individual CVs.

'the set's juniors are especially noted for their "incredible efficiency."' - Chambers UK 2015

What work does the JCT do?

JCT members undertake work across the spectrum of the specialist areas you will find on this site, and are especially suitable for those cases which may not necessarily require more senior Counsel. Each JCT member has a particular emphasis to their practice, with a view to specialising in those areas, and the clerks can help find the right barrister for the case if necessary.

What makes the JCT different?

A priority for the JCT is to build long-lasting relationships and trust with its professional clients, particularly those who are in the early part of their careers. Knowing that these relationships are more rewarding when formed through personal, as well as professional, connections, we host numerous social and educational events throughout the year designed to bring us closer to our clients.

These include regular seminars on a variety of topics, arranged in conjunction with junior lawyers organisations such as the Birmingham Solicitors’ Group, the Birmingham Trainee Solicitors’ Society, the Wolverhampton and Black Country JLD, The London Young Lawyers Group and the Leeds JLD. These events are all CPD-accredited, are free to attend and include an opportunity to network with colleagues.

We also host various social events in which you can get to know our members in a relaxed and fun environment. Recent events have included a cocktail party, complete with professional mixologists, and an exclusive comedy night at Birmingham’s Glee Club. There are always new events being organised, so keep a look out for the e-flyers!
