“I am a barrister (non-practising) called 1999, who subsequently worked in non-legal marketing and business development roles in the telecom industry for five years. I now want to practice.

I understand from the Bar Council rules and guidelines, as well as from talking to friends, that I can be hired as an employed barrister. What will the hurdles be for employers who I approach? How do I convince a company to take me on as In-House Legal when it has been a while since my legal training at BVC?”
