Welcome Charles Law and Niall Prior – our new pupils for 2025-26

Welcome Charles Law and Niall Prior – our new pupils for 2025-26! Charles and Niall commenced their pupillage this week and we wish them every success.

🔸 Charles got a First from Oxford, a Distinction on the LLM from UCL and a High Distinction on the Bar Training Course. In 2024 he successfully represented the Appellant in an Upper Tribunal case: JS v The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions [2024] UKUT 90 (AAC).

“I am delighted to commence pupillage at 3 Hare Court. I look forward to working with a range of pupillage supervisors and gaining a first class start to a career at the Bar”

🔸 Niall obtained a first from Trinity College Dublin and later the University of Cambridge, alongside several academic awards. He was a Judicial Assistant to the Irish High Court and a Legal Researcher at an international disputes firm.

“I am excited to have commenced pupillage at 3 Hare Court alongside my co-pupil, Charlie. Everyone in Chambers has been very welcoming thus far, and I look forward to what’s to come.”

Tom Poole KC, Head of Pupillage, commented: “Starting pupillage is a milestone moment — exciting, challenging, and, at times, a little daunting. At 3 Hare Court, we do everything we can to make it a rewarding and supportive experience. Our pupils are the future of Chambers, and we’re committed to giving them the training, encouragement and opportunities they need to succeed. I wish them both every success in the year ahead.”
