Career development

When a junior barrister has practised at the Bar for 10 to 15 years, it’s possible to apply to become a senior barrister, or Queen's Counsel (QC) taking on more serious or complex cases. Some barristers may become a High Court judge. Some move into senior positions in government, industry or commerce.
