Erskine Chambers is delighted to welcome Tom Gilliver and Will de Vries as pupils.

• Tom transferred to the Bar after training as a solicitor at Slaughter and May and working as a corporate tax lawyer for several years.
• Will spent a year as a research assistant at the Law Commission of England and Wales prior to pupillage, focusing on the law of co-operative and community benefit societies, as well as friendly societies. He completed the Bar Course at the Inns of Court College of Advocacy, after having attended the London School of Economics and Political Science for his undergraduate and postgraduate law degrees.

Congratulations to both on commencing their pupillage and we look forward to supporting them throughout the next 12 months.

At Chambers, we are committed to providing valuable experience to pupils and an extensive introduction to Chambers’ specialist practice areas. If you would like to find out more about pupillage at Erskine Chambers, please click here.
