Meet our 2025-26 Pupil Ambassadors

"I am a pupil barrister at Unity Street Chambers in Bristol, undertaking a general common law pupillage in a set noted for its expertise in family law. Prior to pupillage, I undertook extensive pro bono work during my undergraduate degree and the Bar course and was nominated for the 'Western Circuit Advocacy Prize' after achieving an Outstanding on the BTC. As a Pupil Ambassador, I aim to represent pupils across the Western Circuit and beyond, ensuring their interests are heard and further strengthening our relationship with the Inn."

I started my criminal pupillage at 4BB Chambers in October 2025 and I am delighted to be a Pupil Ambassador for Inner Temple. Having held the position of Producer on the Inner Temple Drama Society committee, I am looking forward to continuing my work with the Education and Training Department at the Inn. I am specifically interested in pupil wellbeing and want to use my role as Ambassador to ensure that pupils do not just survive, but thrive at the Bar.

My name is Sophia and I am one of your 2025/26 pupil ambassadors. I am undertaking my Family Law Pupillage at 1 Crown Office Row in Brighton. During my undergraduate degree I was President of my Law School, and have always seen great value in representation roles. I aim to be approachable, understanding and cooperative, and am excited to widen pupil representation outside of London. Please do get in touch with feedback - anything you think has gone particularly well, anything you think needs attention or if you just want to be signposted to appropriate resources within the Inn.

Abbi initially studied classics and medieval history then trained as a primary school teacher. After 12 years in education, Abbi retrained in the law. She is now a pupil at St Philips Chambers in Birmingham, specialising in business and property. In her spare time Abbi enjoys reading, walking and spending quality time with her partner and daughter. Abbi is particularly committed to supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds who wish to pursue a career in law and ensuring that there is true gender equality at the bar.

I am undertaking a common law pupillage at 30 Park Place Chambers in Cardiff, having commenced in September. I completed my law degree at Cardiff University with First Class Honours before studying at the Inns of Court College of Advocacy for the Bar Course. Prior to pupillage, I worked in primary care within the NHS and served as the founding President of the Cardiff University Bar Society. I was awarded both the Exhibition Scholarship and the Frank & Burris Gahan Benefactors' Scholarship by the Inner Temple in 2023 and recently attended the Geoffrey Nice Foundation Masterclass entitled 'Why Go to War: What, If Any, Law Can Stop Us?'. As a Pupil Ambassador, I hope to strengthen engagement between pupils across the Circuit, support aspiring barristers from all backgrounds, and promote the Inn’s work in Wales.

I am a pupil barrister at Quadrant Chambers, specialising in commercial law with a focus on shipping. Before coming to the Bar, I practised as a solicitor at Cleary Gottlieb, working across financial services regulation, sanctions and ESG. I grew up in Austria and speak German as my first language. Having entered the Bar through a non-traditional route, I am keen to support and advocate for pupils from a wide range of backgrounds, and to help strengthen the sense of community and mutual support that makes the Inner Temple such a welcoming place to begin practice.

I’m Bartek, a mixed civil pupil at Broadway House Chambers (Leeds/Bradford) with a keen interest in languages and culture. Before starting pupillage, I worked as a county court advocate, carried out trade union representation activities, and spent 18 months at the CJEU in Luxembourg. As a Pupil Ambassador, I hope to represent my peers’ voices and help ensure that the Inner Temple continues to be a welcoming, inclusive community for everyone.
