Preparing for QC appointment

With an increasing number of candidates applying for the sought-after position of Queen’s Counsel (Silk) over the last two years, applicants face fierce competition. By investing in a one-to-one session with one of our highly experienced consultants you will be giving yourself the best possible chance of success.

The 2015-16 competition is now well underway and our expert consultants are ready to help you prepare for your interview. We're receiving enquiries for assistance from those who have been recommended by previously successful applicants (a third of which were helped by a JSB consultant) and would be delighted to help you too.

Don't forget that whether you are in the early stages of considering an application, in the midst of completing the in-depth and complex application form, concerned that you are selecting the best referees to support your application, or preparing for a QC appointment interview, we can provide invaluable support.

Why not join the scores of successful silks who took the time to prepare for their QC application with us.
