About 

The Employed Bar Awards showcase the wealth of talent amongst employed barristers. Launched in 2017, they celebrate the vital contributions that employed barristers make across numerous practice areas. 

The Awards are presented for high quality legal advice and an outstanding contribution by employed barristers to the work of their organisations and the law more generally.

The judging panel for the 2024 awards includes Patrick Walker, Gaynor Wood, alongside Bar Council Chair Sam Townend KC and Vice Chair Barbara Mills KC.
