The Pupillage Committee
Our Pupillage Committee consists of the members of Chambers listed below. We’ve included their interests so that you know a little bit about them.
Piers Stansfield KC (Head of the Pupillage Committee)
Piers enjoys travel, food and wine, and ideally all of these together. He is making slow and intermittent progress in walking the Via Francigena with his sons and in learning the Italian language, for which he has unwisely signed up to sit the ‘A’ level this year.
Rosemary rediscovered the joys of walking during lockdown and, if not at her desk, she’s probably exploring the wetlands and waterways of North London and Hertfordshire. You can read her mini biography here.
Calum follows Bath Rugby and thankfully can still remember the good times. He plays in a competitive pipe band and has competed at national and international level, including the World Championships. Calum retains a strong interest in British imperial history and has completed two papers on nineteenth-century East Africa.
Tom is a keen sportsman. He enjoys playing and watching football, rugby and cricket.
When allowed some spare time by his young family, James enjoys sports (in particular skiing and golf, both of which have suffered significant deterioration in skill level over the years) and walking in the Kent countryside. He also likes cooking and to collect cook books, and particularly recommends those of Nigel Slater (his Instagram account is also worth a follow). His prized possession however is a First Edition copy of Fergus Henderson’s “Nose to Tail Eating”, although he is yet to attempt to cook anything from it.
Brenna enjoys all things history related and has a particular interest in intellectual and cultural history. When not working, she can be found in the National Gallery contemplating Hogarth’s Marriage A-la-Mode or listening to a true crime podcast.
When not digesting weighty legal tomes or drinking at the rugby club bar, you can probably find Charlie with an oat milk flat white, baby in papoose and French literature nearby.
Tom has a strong interest in history of all types and periods and also enjoys playing Sunday league football.
Elizabeth enjoys cinema, swimming, and long walks in Hyde Park. She travels to France whenever she can, to visit friends and family. Her favourite city is Madrid, where she lived when she was a student.
Isobel loves all things fashion, art and interiors. To channel this, in her spare time she enjoys shopping and attending exhibitions. Isobel is also a keen cyclist (albeit in a spin studio) and enjoys reading.
Alison Crosland (Chief Operating Officer)
Alison is a trained coach and member of the International Coaching Federation. Outside work her interests include theatre, the arts and travel.
Marie Sparkes (Director of Business Development)
Marie is Captain of the Keating Chambers Netball Team and in her spare time volunteers for London Pulse Superleague Netball Team.
The Pupillage Committee wishes you the very best of luck.
