A common concern of many barristers and amongst the top reasons for prematurely leaving the bar is a lack of financial certainty.
Barristers simply do not feel confident regarding their financial future this comes from a lack of engaging and suitable resources.
To support the bar and it's members we provide free financial education via seminars delivered virtually or in-person to the Inns of Court, Bar associations, chambers, and Bar Training Course (BTC) providers.
Sessions are tailored to the specific needs of the host and attendees.
Our financial wellbeing clinics are available to all bar-related institutions to provide barristers with the opportunity to access financial education and resources to support their practice.
