Chambers` clerking and administrative team, led by our Practice Manager, David Parker, is second to none, and you are assured of a friendly and highly efficient service. Our competitive fees structure reflects our modern, streamlined business ethos.

Welcome to three new Pupils

During the past year we have welcomed three new pupils to chambers. Jane Smith, Kerry Gardiner and Jonathan O'Neill.

Jane Smith is a third-six pupil having transferred to the bar after seven years as a Solicitor specialising in Family Law. Kerry Gardiner is now in her second six month period of pupillage and is enjoying being on her feet. Chambers is already receiving positive comments from its instructing solicitors. Jonathan will be available to represent clients from May 2008.

Latest News - Exeter Medico-legal Society

Rougemont Chambers are pleased to announce that Dr David Thomas has been invited to become the Chairman of the Exeter Medico-legal Society (EMLS)..

Dr Thomas will be taking over from Dr Adrian Rogers who is a General Practitioner and also an expert witness with extensive experience in medico-legal practice.  EMLS was founded 10 years ago by Dr Christopher Gardner Thorpe (Consultant Neurologist) and Mr Cliff Poole (Partner at Bond Pearce in Exeter).  The Society has grown over the years and seeks to provide a forum for education and discussion between the two professions.

In September 2008 EMLS will be holding its biannual conference on medico-legal matters and further information will be available during the course of the forthcoming year.
