Latest trends in chambers....
There seems to be a number of Senior Clerk posts available at the moment, and few (very) Junior Clerk positions in chambers. Strange. Must be the time of year - people not looking to move chambers until after their salary review or bonus!
There also seems to be a general trend for chambers in London to be specialising in many one area of work only, while chambers in the provinces are still multi-discipline sets (common law - Crime, Civil and Family).
There is still a lot of unhappiness in Crime sets about the pressure the government and the authorities are placing on the Criminal Bar in particular.
Some sets of chambers have recently dissolved (not necessarily due to the Criminal Fees though) - latest to go: 199 Strand, 10-11 Gray's Inn Square, and 7 New Square.
