The Chambers
One Pump Court Chambers is a dynamic and modern set. Founded in 1978. Chambers is run as a democratic collective and is committed to assisting the disadvantaged by providing expert services in advice, advocacy and dispute resolution.

The Chambers reflects its purpose by seeking equality for all and diversity amongst its barristers and staff. It maximises its impact by providing high quality, efficient services delivered in an accessible way.

One Pump Court has established a solid and growing reputation in its traditional areas of work while developing its client base through the expansion of direct access, private (both domestic and international), and regulatory work, as well as mediation. Through their fearless advocacy and their professionalism, One Pump Court’s barristers seek to provide access to justice for the vulnerable and disadvantaged, and fight against poverty, abuse, neglect and discrimination.

Members of Chambers sit as part-time judges in the County Court and Tribunals (immigration, social security, property and employment). Former members have been appointed to the judiciary, including to the High Court.

Barristers at One Pump Court regularly conduct seminars for practitioners and provide tailor-made training sessions for external organisations such as ILPA, HLPA, JWCT, LAG, ATLeP, HJT and Shelter. The Chambers and individual barristers have been nominated for various professional awards.
