‘The Specialist Bar: Media, Company, Intellectual Property and Tax’ panel recording now available

This event was hosted in partnership with 5RB, Erskine Chambers, Hogarth Chambers and the Revenue Bar Association on 4 February 2025. This talk aimed to inform on practice and opportunities at the specialist Bar, focusing on media, company, intellectual property and tax. The panel was chaired by Mrs Justice Bacon, and also included Aidan Eardley KC, Samuel Rowe, Laura Poots, Olivia Tolson and Jonathan Moss.

While the Bar is becoming more diverse, we know that certain areas of the specialist Bar struggle to attract a diverse range of applicants. Through this event, we hoped to explain why these areas of the specialist Bar suit a wide range of people, providing intellectual challenge and the opportunity to reach the highest courts.

The panel was chaired by Mrs Justice Bacon, the youngest woman ever to be appointed as a full time High Court Judge, and we heard from barristers currently thriving in each of these areas.
