Chambers is looking to recruit practitioners in all levels, from third six to established practitioners, across all our practice areas.
We also welcome applications from solicitors who are looking to make a move to the Bar, with a number of our members having already been supported in transferring to a successful career with Chambers.
We understand that relocating to a new set or transferring to the bar can be a daunting prospect. Chambers provides support to new members to help make the transition to a successful career with us as easy as possible.
Chambers offers a competitive rent structure which has been formulated to ensure it is a fair system for all tenants, regardless of their working pattern, seniority or level of income.
The structure features a low monthly fixed sum and a percentage charged on receipts. As such, tenants only pay a commission on what they receive and are not subject to any compulsory large monthly charges. Members of Chambers benefit from access to our offices in Nottingham and Leicester, both of which have conferencing facilities, members have access to online library resources (as of August 2026, members have access to Westlaw and a variety of books, criminal members have access to Archbold, civil members have access to a range of common law books (including Chitty on Contract & Clerk & Lindsell on Torts) as well as the White Book). Our Leicester office is situated on New Walk just a stone’s throw away from Leicester train station and the Crown and County Court, with parking available to the rear of the building. In our Leicester office we also have a range of books available for members including Atkins Court Forms, Halsbury’s Laws of England and a variety of common law books.
Throughout the year, members meet for social events, we try and meet around once a quarter for an evening meal and drinks either in Nottingham or Leicester, we also organise a family fun day in the summer where members are encouraged to bring their families for a picnic and games (previously held at Rutland Water). We also attend the Leicestershire and Nottingham Law Society dinners each year as well as MALA in Leicester. A number of our members arrange events amongst themselves, in 2025 two of our members cycled 100 miles around Leicestershire for charity. This year, we have members undertaking a marathon relay in Leicester and two of our members are taking part in the London to Brighton cycle ride.
Our two teams – Criminal and Civil & Family – recruit separately, with no requirement to work across these teams or disciplines. Although the Civil & Family team are joined, if you are a civil practitioner or a family practitioner there is no requirement to do both disciplines, unless this is something that you wish to continue with and/or develop.

Our civil team, headed by Edward Webb, are recruiting for new members. At Chambers our civil members have mixed practices that include personal injury, business and property, employment, regulatory, housing and more. However, all civil members have the opportunity to develop their practice into the practice area(s) they wish and there is no obligation to work in every practice area.
Our civil team members generally work in the East Midlands but also receive instructions for works further a field including London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds.
At Chambers, we understand the importance of a work life balance therefore our clerks will work with you to help ensure you achieve the practice you want.
Our civil team members benefit from access to Westlaw, a variety of online common law books, the White Book and a range of books in our Leicester office.
Applications are welcomed from all civil practitioners at all levels.
Chambers has recently developed a regulatory group amongst members therefore we are particularly keen to hear from practitioners who would like to develop a practice focused on regulatory work. We are also keen to hear from those who wish to develop a common law (road traffic), credit hire and personal injury practice.
If you would like to have a confidential discussion about becoming a member of the civil team, please contact our head of civil and family clerking Emma Watson at EWatson@kchgardensquare.co.uk.
