Being self-employed has given 1 Temple Gardens barrister Tim Kevan the flexibility to pursue his non-legal passions

One of the joys of the Bar is that you are self-employed and therefore get a lot more freedom over your own destiny than most. For my part, as a keen surfer, this meant that over the years as a common law barrister at 1 Temple Gardens I have frequently been able to take breaks by the coast to catch the odd wave when the surfing conditions were right. It also meant that I had time to indulge another hobby, writing.
