An Amazing day at Salisbury Racecourse for our annual BDJLD day at the Races sponcered by 3PB Barristers!

Great turnout at our Pump Court Chambers ‘What they don’t teach you on the LPC/SQE’ event hosted at Steele Raymond LLP Solicitors. A very informative session!

For anyone considering a career in law, one of the biggest questions is which area of practice will suit you. Private Client Law offers a career that is technically challenging, people focused and varied. As a Private Client Executive at Harold G Walker Solicitors, training to qualify as a solicitor through the SQE route, I see every day how impactful this work can be. What working in Private Client Law involves Private Client Law covers Wills, Trusts, Probate, Court of Prote

A fantastic evening at our BDJLD Wine Tasting Event last month 🍷 Thank you to everyone who joined us for a relaxed and sociable night of great company, excellent wines, and delicious cheese.

A special thank you to our sponsor, Wilson & Roe High Court Enforcement , for supporting the event, and to the wine specialist from VinGin for guiding us through a

Working in Wills, Trusts and Probate is much more varied than people often expect. As a newly qualified solicitor, my days are busy and practical, with a mix of client contact, drafting, and managing ongoing matters. Starting the Day I usually start the day by checking emails and organising my workload across my probate, trust, Will, and Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) files.

8:30am – A Chai Latte Start I like to get into the office area a little early, and today I met a few colleagues at the local coffee shop next door for a chai latte.

With so many matters moving at the same time, having a clear plan is essential. 9:00am – 10:30am – Demerger Document Drafting My morning sta

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at The Project Climbing Centre for our recent bouldering social!

Our pottery painting social at All Fired Up in Bournemouth was a sell-out! It was fantastic to see such a great turnout of junior legal professionals and guests coming together for a relaxed, creative evening away from the office. From first-time painters to hidden artists, everyone got involved, and the atmosphere was brilliant throughout. Thank you to everyone who attended. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! We can’t wait to see your finished pieces once they’ve

So, you have your academic qualifications, but to my mind the next and most important step is to decide whether you really want to be a barrister, because the path to get there, whether it be long or short, will put your resolve and self-esteem to the test! Find out what being a barrister is really about… First, do not underestimate how much both the bar course, and application process for pupillage are a microcosm of the reality of being a barrister. It is a role whic

What’s next after completing a law degree? Firstly, congratulations on graduating — this is a huge achievement and one you should be incredibly proud of. Finishing a law degree marks the end of a challenging chapter and the beginning of an exciting (if sometimes daunting) new one.
