We are very proud that James Collier has been shortlisted for Clerk of the Year in the Legal 500 UK Bar Awards 2026. James is responsible for the development and management of all aspects of our family barristers’ practice, including diary management, fee negotiation, work allocation and client relationship management. The latest edition of the Legal 500 describes James as “an excellent senior clerk” and “outstanding in his role”.
Pump Court is nominated as Southern Set of the Year, further reflecting its continued strength across key practice areas and its standing across the South of England and London.
The Legal 500 Bar Awards seek to recognise chambers as a whole across England and Wales, as well as all people within them. In addition to practice area categories for arbitrators, juniors, silks, and sets, main stage awards also recognise clerks of all levels of seniority and other professionals in chambers. The awards are determined on merit alone, based on Legal 500’s market-leading independent research, conducted by a team of in-house researchers with in-depth knowledge of their practice areas. The award ceremony will take place at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London on 22nd September 2026.
