Blimey - a big thank you to my clients and opponents who said nice things about me in @thelegal500. A pleasure to pay my very first #HumbleBrag fine to billablehour.org in aid of @SavetheChildren.
Welcome to Gareth and Carl - two brilliant new @OldSqChambers colleagues who have bright futures at the Bar ahead of them, no doubt.
We are delighted to welcome Gareth Deane and Carl Rix as new tenants following successful completion of their pupillage and welcome Elena Margetts and Karim Pal to @OldSqChambers begin their pupillage journey. #pupillage #newjoiners #welcome
An excellent event last night, supporting two great candidates in @Jon4HighPeak and @JakeBenRichards.
A great fundraising evening with @Jon4HighPeak - thank you to the brilliant @RachelReevesMP @jreynoldsMP and @campbellclaret for speaking. There was a real buzz in the room. Bring on the General Election! 🌹
Very pleased to have appeared for the successful Respondent in this EAT case concerning the shifting burden of proof under s.136 EqA 2010 - an exercise fundamentally to be conducted by the first instance Tribunal. #ukemplaw
@AlexShellum successful in EAT case on the burden of proof in discrimination claims, which provides a useful summary of the law relating to s.136 EqA 2010 and the approach to be taken by Tribunals. #ukemplaw oldsquare.co.uk/alex-shellum-s…

This morning, I am very, very proud to have spent three years in this special, progressive place. #BHM
Last night Lord Simon Woolley hosted the largest gathering of Black Excellence in Cambridge’s history, for Black History Month (over 300 in our new Hall). Huge thanks to @CambridgeACS for co-hosting. @Cambridge_Uni #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackExcellence #BHM #BHM2022
With questions like that from The Telegraph and the Sun, it's easy to see why #Truss cut that press conference short.
Patiently waiting for Kwasi Kwarteng to accuse the markets of "playing politics".
We keep having to rewrite the top of the splash because financial markets do not want to touch sterling
I am delighted to have been appointed to the Attorney General's C Panel of Counsel and thank you to all of the clients and colleagues who helped me to build my application.
Old Square Chambers is delighted to announce that @AlexShellum, in his first year of eligibility, has been appointed to the Attorney General’s C Panel of Counsel. The appointment is with effect from 1 September 2022.
This is a lie. 81.5% voted for this action. There is no “15% pay rise” on offer. There is no “£7,000 more a year”. Junior criminal barristers will remain on less than minimum wage. Read the truth here:
Really impressive interview given by @crimlawuk on BBC News at 09:23 this morning on the strike action and correcting the government's deceptive lines on the situation. Worth 5 minutes of anyone's time: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/live/b… #Action4Justice
Solidarity with criminal barrister colleagues @TheCriminalBar on today's day of #Action4Justice. I know this is not a move you have taken lightly. I know talented junior colleagues who have left the Criminal Bar already. We cannot afford to lose any more of you. #1Bar
Monday 27 June #Action4Justice gatherings Assemble from 830am onwards speeches from 10am outside: Central Criminal Court (Old Bailey) Birmingham Crown Court Manchester Crown Court Leeds Crown Court Bristol Crown Court Cardiff Crown Court @TheCriminalBar #1Bar bar none
Thank you to @ICAW_22 from @OldSqChambers for a wonderful garden party. Over 700 attendees from pupils & trainees to silks, judges & partners. Rousing speech from Baroness Helena Kennedy. Connections made & friendships forged. Looking forward to 2023! #InnsofCourtAllianceforWomen
The question of disability is whether one has an impairment which meets the fact-sensitive statutory test, not whether one has a particular medical condition (cf. EqA Sch 1(1)(6)). This recommendation is more likely to confuse than clarify. #ukemplaw
Discussions continue on whether ‘long covid’ symptoms constitute a disability. Without case law or scientific consensus, EHRC does not recommend that ‘long covid’ be treated as a disability. More advice on reasonable adjustments can be found - equalityhumanrights.com/en/advice-and-…
