8DB, the integrated barristers chambers within the DAC Beachcroft group, was founded and developed by the industry leading barristers for the in-house advocacy model. The aim of the team is simple: to bring the services of the Bar to our clients via a streamlined and quality service. Our team of barristers and advocates, centrally clerked, work with both internal and external clients to deliver the advisory, drafting and advocacy they might otherwise instruct chambers for.

Our barristers have different expertise, but collectively their practices include:

• Personal Injury
• Credit Hire
• Clinical negligence
• Occupational health / disease
• Property Litigation
• Inquests & Regulatory
• Motor Fraud / Casualty Fraud
• Alternative Dispute Resolution
• Costs
• Employment

This position is flexible on location and we welcome applications from candidates nationwide. Given our firm’s flexible working policy location will not be a restricting factor to applications. Barristers will be able to choose if they wish to work fully remote or in a hybrid way.

• Primarily acting as counsel for clients in general civil litigation claims.
• Providing a full and tailored client service from start to finish.
• Providing support and guidance for other barristers with similar practice areas in a collegiate manner.

We are looking for the right person to fit with our business and vision for the employed Bar of the future. You will be innovative, creative and forward thinking, in both how you conduct yourself as a barrister but perhaps more importantly how you shape your professional outlook. The years you have been practicing is not as important as the experience you have gained along the way.

We would like for you to have a keen interest in training and development of others and to ensure working within a team environment working for common goals.

You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles!
