1 Pump Court is a radical and progressive set of chambers established in 1978 by a group of lawyers with a commitment to providing a first class service to all, particularly the legally aided client and those facing tribunals where legal aid is not available
Since its founding, 1 Pump Court has been a democratic collective and does not have a Head of Chambers. We are run by a Management Committee which has responsibility for the efficient running of chambers
1 Pump Court is committed to social responsiblity and to the continuing improvement of all our activities so that we can reduce our collective impact on the environment.
