This October, to mark Black History Month, we’ve been sitting down with a number of inspiring individuals working in chambers to hear about their career journeys, their reflections on the legal profession, and what this month means to them.
We’re delighted to kick off the series with Phil Desmondez, Head of Marketing at Essex Court.
Phil leads the marketing and business development support at Essex Court Chambers. He is responsible for the development and implementation of marketing, business development, and communication initiatives. Before Essex Court Chambers, Phil was the Marketing Manager at Old Square Chambers. He has also worked at 39 Essex Chambers and Cornerstone Barristers. Phil is the co-founder of the Marketing in Chambers Group (MICG).
