Description
8DB, the integrated barristers chambers within the DAC Beachcroft group, was founded and developed by the industry-leading barristers for the in-house advocacy model.
The aim of the team is simple: to bring the services of the Bar to our clients via a streamlined and quality service. Our team of barristers and advocates, centrally clerked, work with both internal and external clients to deliver the advisory, drafting, and advocacy they might otherwise instruct chambers for.
We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our integrated barristers chambers, 8DB, to work within the clerking team on a 12-month fixed-term contract. The purpose of the role is to ensure that a high-quality service is provided to all clients and to ensure a high standard of support is provided for all our Barristers and Advocates.
Whilst we are ideally looking for an experienced Clerk, we also welcome applications from those looking to start their clerking career with our support, guidance, and training.
The preferred locations for the position are Birmingham, Bristol, London, Manchester, but we welcome applications from candidates nationwide. Given our firm’s flexible working policy, location will not be a restricting factor to applications.
Experienced clerks will be able to work fully remote.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you will do?
- Taking telephone enquiries from clients and colleagues.

Who you are
We are looking for the right person to fit with our business and vision for the employed Bar of the future.
