3PB Barristers seeks to recruit established practitioners to join its busy and successful Employment and Discrimination Law Group

Posted on03 May 2023

The Group receives instructions from many of the UK’s leading law firms and provides consistently high quality advice and advocacy for both individuals and companies (including many household company names), with many of our barristers regularly appearing in the appellate courts.

3PB’s excellent reputation for employment work has been recognised again this year in both Chambers & Partners and Legal 500. The Group gained Tier One status in the Chambers & Partners UK Bar Guide 2023 on both the Western and South Eastern Circuits and also features in the Top Tier of the latest edition of Legal 500. Clients have been incredibly generous in their praise of individual barristers, and describe the practice management team in Chambers & Partners as 'standouts for their promptness of service, friendliness and efficiency' as they 'make you feel like you are their only client'.

The employment clerks are led by Chambers Director, Russell Porter, who is described as 'superb in going over and above’. In Legal 500, clients praise a ‘good proactive chambers – seeking to provide stronger embedded relationships, [with a] cost-effective and pragmatic service.’ The clerking team’s service is rated ‘excellent’, with Russell Porter at the helm, noted for being ‘first class’, ‘pro-active and supportive’.

With offices in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Oxford, Winchester and Bournemouth, 3PB is able to offer an unparalleled choice to practitioners over where to work whilst at the same time providing access to the very highest quality work across the UK.

Supported by first-class clerking and other professional staff, 3PB offers competitive charging and rent structures and fantastic opportunities for career progression with a practice development plan tailored to suit your goals.

3PB now invites established employment and discrimination law barristers for an informal discussion, in confidence, with the lead Practice Director, Russell Porter (russell.porter@3pb.co.uk or 07808 137904), or with the Head of Group, Craig Ludlow (craig.ludlow@3pb.co.uk or 07919 440135).

Burges Salmon has been an enthusiastic supporter of BLS for many years. BLS provides a valuable role in uniting and promoting the whole of the legal sector across Bristol to benefit both its members and the city. It facilitates collaboration across the sector to ensure that we can all make a difference. Whether that is driving important initiatives in, for example, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and the use of new technologies, liaising with stakeholders and charities in our wider community or providing training to generations of lawyers, the service and support provided by BLS is invaluable. More recently BLS has taken a lead on promoting Bristol’s legal brand, encouraging legal and business services talent to come to the city, which in turn attracts clients and inward investment to our thriving and vibrant commercial community. BLS breaks down barriers and brings those in the profession together for the greater good. We are proud of our long-standing association with BLS.

Three things to say about my experience of working with Bristol Law Society. Their central team, council members and general hangers-on are just about the nicest, most generous group of people working in the legal sector today. The numerous events, awards, socials and conferences I’ve had the pleasure to attend over the years have been, without exception, top quality and supremely organised. And, thirdly, they consistently exceed and challenge the boundaries of what lawyers might assume a regional Law Society will restrict activities to – from a hugely successful charitable school meals drive to corporate social responsibility and diversity campaigns to being joint architects and coordinators of the region’s unique Bristol+BathLegalTech group, which it has been my privilege to co-chair for the last five years.

As one of the leading Insurance brokers for law firms in the UK and with a large presence in Bristol it seemed only natural for us to support the Bristol Law Society. Bristol Law Society is one of the oldest and most vibrant of the Law Societies in England and Wales. We are pleased to be working with them on important matters relating to law firms’ liability insurances and Risk Management. From Sole Practitioner to Top 20 law firms we are sure our two organisations can provide excellent support and assistance for the challenges faced by the legal profession.

Joining BLS in 2013 and becoming President in 2018/19 has created many longstanding friendships and business relationships, whilst also unlocking doors to other opportunities in the City. BLS enabled a perfect balance of professional development and also opportunities to give back to the legal and wider community. I am pleased that my Firm has supported BLS in many capacities since 2013 and continues to do so.
