How to make a career at the Planning & Environmental Bar

This evening event is organised by the Planning & Environment Bar Association (PEBA) with the generous support of the Inner Temple.

Date & Time: Monday 11th November 2024, 6.30pm – 9pm

Venue: In person at the Lecture Theatre, Inner Temple, Crown Office Row, London EC4Y 7HL or online. 

Who is this event for?: The event is primarily aimed at university and bar students interested in hearing about a potential career at the planning and environmental bar. There is a minimum age requirement of 18 for those attending in person.

With building homes and key infrastructure and protecting the environment at the top of the political and legal agendas, the evening will give an insight into a career at the planning and environmental bar and the fascinating opportunities it provides to people from all backgrounds and walks of life. 

The speakers will include junior and senior barristers who will share their experiences and provide guidance on how to get pupillage and then build a career in one of the most exciting, rewarding and topical areas of work at the bar.  Information will also be available on the mentoring scheme established by a number of chambers, in conjunction with PEBA, which provides mentors to groups presently under-represented at the planning, property, public and environmental law Bar.

The talks will be followed by a drinks reception with the opportunity for more informal discussion with leading barristers from all the main sets of chambers undertaking this work.
