J Ockenden and Millicent Wild join 5 Essex Chambers

We are delighted to announce that current pupils Millicent Wild and J Ockenden have accepted an invitation to join chambers as tenants.

They both started their pupillage here in September 2023 and will officially become tenants of 5 Essex Chambers in September 2024. Head of Chambers, Jason Beer KC, comments: “It is a real pleasure to welcome J and Millie as Member of Chambers. They both enjoyed outstanding pupillages – I look forward to seeing their considerable skills and industry develop still further into what are certain to be very successful practices.”

J comments: “I’m still reeling from the news that I’ve been offered tenancy at 5 Essex Chambers. Pupillage has been an extremely steep learning curve, but it’s been an absolute pleasure to get to grips with some of 5EC’s core practice areas. In first six I had the pleasure of seeing several of our amazingly talented barristers in action, and I am delighted at the prospect of having such brilliant, generous and supportive people as colleagues.” 

Millie says: “I am delighted to have been offered tenancy at 5 Essex Chambers. I have found my pupillage very rewarding and am looking forward to continuing to learn from and work with my excellent colleagues. As a tenant, I hope to contribute much to chambers.”

To find out more about what they have been working on during their pupillage, you can read an article they wrote at the end of their first six about a day in the life of a pupil. An insight into being a pupil – 5 Essex Chambers
