Brick Court Chambers

Since its foundation in 1921, Brick Court Chambers has been home to many giants of the bar. Today, it is one of the UK’s preeminent legal sets, specialising in commercial, competition, public, international and EU law. The new Director of Finance & Operations will help to ensure the continued commercial success of Chambers, supporting its members and staff.

Brick Court is an organisation marked by excellence in its practice areas, with barristers who are not only legal experts but sector specialists: providing real perspective to clients. At the same time it is a genuine community, recognised externally for its thriving, supportive and inclusive culture.

The Director of Finance & Operations is expected to play a leading role within this community, providing operational leadership across infrastructure, finance, HR, and administrative functions of Chambers. Priorities include an impending office refurbishment, cashflow and budgeting as well as staff recruitment, and compliance around data protection and employment law. The role will lead the internal administration staff.

Successful candidates are likely to occupy senior executive roles in an organisation of relevant complexity with a firm grounding in finance and operations and a demonstrable interest in the legal sphere. Candidates not from a legal background will need to bring themselves up to date on issues facing the Bar and the profession.
