Lachlan Stewart (chair), No5 Chambers
I am hugely excited to Chair the YBC for 2025. Being a barrister is a rewarding but very demanding career – particularly for those at the young Bar. Our committee remains a vital mechanism to listen to the young Bar and give it a voice.
Some young barristers are lucky enough to receive excellent training and support through their early years of practice. Others may not be so fortunate. As a committee, we are here to stand up for those less fortunate and the young Bar as a whole.
