Under a scheme administered by the Bar Council, at least eight commercial chambers and groups of members of commercial chambers will pay for criminal pupils to complete their training.
In his inaugural speech, incoming chair of the Bar Council Derek Sweeting QC thanked 20 Essex St, Atkin Chambers, 3 Verulam Buildings, Matrix, Brick Court, 4 Pump Court and Blackstone for participating in the scheme.
