At 2TG our people are hard-working, forward-thinking and approachable. We believe our supportive culture is one of our greatest strengths.
With the set comprising around 60 barristers, we know each other well and work effectively together. We often operate in large teams with clients. Our practice management team is modern and commercial, matching barrister experience thoughtfully to clients’ requirements.
At 2TG our barristers are expert in a broad range of complementary practice areas and we enjoy repeat instructions from a variety of loyal clients.
Practised advocates from the start, all our Silks and the vast majority of our Junior barristers are recognised as leaders in their chosen fields. Many of us are at the forefront of shaping the law in our specialist areas and we pride ourselves in having excellent industry knowledge.
At 2TG our barristers have excellent experience acting across a range of industry sectors and we are able to offer advice in an informed and commercial context.
Our combination of practice area excellence and industry expertise means we possess real insight into the commercial realities facing our clients operating in these areas. Secondment plays an important part of our commitment to developing our skills and understanding.
2TG is home to award-winning accredited mediators, arbitrators, adjudicators and experts with considerable experience of alternative dispute resolution.
Our barristers are also skilled as advocates in different alternative dispute resolution procedures and work strategically with clients to understand their commercial objectives, and then to resolve litigation as cost-effectively and expeditiously as possible.
Work with an international dimension forms a significant part of many barristers’ work at 2TG.
We appear in international courts and arbitral tribunals all over the world, frequently acting on complex multi-jurisdictional disputes. We are particularly well-known for managing cross border litigation on matters of jurisdiction and applicable law and appear regularly in the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal.
At 2TG, in addition to our professional advice, we are recognised for our excellent contribution to education and development. We provide regular high-quality training.
Our reputation among the legal profession and other clients for our first-rate webinars and in-person conferences is very important to us. We also contribute frequently at industry events and as editors of leading texts and authors on topics of legal interest.
A great opportunity to find out about 2TG and hear from KC’s, Junior Tenants and Pupils on what life is like within chambers.
Date to be announced
This is an opportunity to learn more about Chambers, to hear from KCs, junior tenants and recent pupils on what life at 2TG is like, and what to expect from pupillage with us. We hope that the event will give those attending a good introduction to 2TG and insight into life at the Bar more generally. The session is aimed at those applying for pupillage in the forthcoming application round and who have not done a mini pupillage at 2TG.
2TG is a leading general civil and commercial set of chambers consisting of 61 barristers including 16 silks. We are a friendly and cohesive set, and believe that chambers should be more than a place to work. We pride ourselves on the strong relationships that exist between members of chambers practising in a wide variety of areas.
Across the range of work that Chambers covers, one feature of our culture stands out above all others: we are all committed to excellence. In a nutshell, we are passionate about being the most sought-after advocates in our individual fields. It is this passion for excellence that unites us and makes 2TG we believe one of the most exciting, vibrant, and ambitious chambers at the modern Bar.
Members of Chambers practise in a range of different commercial and common law areas, including insurance, private international law, personal injury, contractual disputes, commercial fraud, professional negligence, sports law, product liability, clinical negligence, employment, and property damage.
2TG will be recruiting 2 to 3 pupils in the coming Pupillage Gateway round. The current pupillage award is £82,500. Details of the award and the application process are on our website.
The Open Evening will start at 5pm and take place virtually. It will include short talks from members of chambers and clerks about practice at the Bar and tips on applying for pupillage.
The number of places is limited. If you are interested in attending, please send an email to the Pupillage Administrator at pupillage@2tg.co.uk . We will confirm whether you have got a place by email and a link to access the event will also be sent nearer the time. Please note this event is only for those intending to apply for pupillage in the January 2025 application round.
