This session is designed to assist junior barristers who are looking to diversify their practices and to develop into areas other than criminal law.  Each of our panel members began their practices in crime before developing into more varied areas in accordance with their interests, and they are keen to share their experiences and advice with those looking to adopt a similar approach. 

The session is designed to be a lively and constructive panel discussion focusing on issues such as diary management, building relations with professional clients, obtaining experience and navigating issues with clerking teams.
