Join us

We are a thriving, forward-looking set with a strong and ever-growing client base, consistently instructed in high-profile and complex work. Our reputation for legal excellence is well established — but what truly sets us apart is our culture and the way we work together.

We believe that a successful career at the Bar is about more than the cases you take on — it’s about the environment you work in, the people who support you, and the values that shape your everyday experience.

At Cornerstone Barristers we offer:

• Legal Excellence 
  We are at the forefront of some of the most significant public law issues of the day — cases that are high-profile, complex, and have a significant impact on society. Our long-standing reputation for legal excellence is a hallmark of Chambers.
• Genuine Collegiality
  We take pride in our open, collaborative culture. Many members choose to work regularly from chambers, fostering informal, cross-practice mentoring and support. Whether you’re seeking guidance or looking to share your experience, you’ll find an environment that encourages connection and contribution.
• Tailored Clerking and Practice Management
  Our clerking team is proactive, responsive, and attuned to the ambitions of each individual barrister. We work closely with you to shape the practice you want — whether that’s rapid growth, specialist focus, or a balanced workload.
• Flexible Financial Structure
  We understand that life doesn’t stand still. Our financial arrangements are designed to be adaptable — offering flexibility at every stage of your personal and professional journey.
• Support for Silk and Judicial Appointment
  We have a strong track record of successful Silk and judicial appointment applications. Our members benefit from structured, strategic support throughout the process.
• A Chambers That Feels Human
  We are proud of our cohesive and good-natured atmosphere. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We value respect, humour, and perspective — and we look out for one another.

We are always interested in hearing from talented barristers — and from solicitors looking to make the move to the Bar — who are keen to play an active role in chambers life and help shape our future. In particular, we welcome applications from Court of Protection, Planning and Environment, and Housing practitioners.

If you’re looking to be part of a high-performing, supportive and genuinely friendly set, we would be delighted to hear from you.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds who share our passion for excellence. For a confidential chat about joining Chambers, please feel free to contact our CEO Nadia Biles Davies.
