Fair Allocation of Work

Training Module

Ensuring fair allocation of work within chambers is crucial for promoting equality and diversity among barristers.

By engaging in fair allocation training and adopting transparent allocation policies, chambers can foster a more equitable and inclusive environment for all members.

Implementing fair allocation training helps Chambers create a more inclusive, compliant, and high-performing environment, ultimately benefiting both barristers and the clients they serve.
