Castan Chambers New Criminal Floor | Barristers' Chambers Limited

An opportunity exclusively available for members of the Criminal Bar

Due to limited chamber options on existing criminal floors in Castan Chambers with high occupancy levels and many barristers sharing (85% sharing on a floor vs. BCL average of 25% sharing in a building) we are now offering a short-term solution to occupy chambers on level 10 under the BCL Chamber Rules of Occupancy (30 day rules).

Now open for applications, level 10 Castan Chambers will be a non group, BCL Managed Floor available exclusively for criminal barristers seeking their first chambers, wishing to transition from shared to sole occupancy or wanting to be in close proximity.

With chambers awarded in accordance with the BCL Chamber Rules of Occupancy it offers a non-group, barrier-free option for criminal barristers to secure chambers in a highly sought after, predominantly criminal practice location where supply is limited but demand is high.
