Following the successful completion of their pupillages, during which they experienced a wide range of Chambers practice areas, Charlie Coverman and Charlotte Mclean will become tenants with effect from 30 September 2025.
Charlie has a first-class History and Politics degree from the University of Oxford, where he won the Gibbs Prize (proxime accessit), ranking second in his year of over 250 students in Politics, and achieved the top mark in International Relations out of 159 candidates. He finished first in his cohort for both Civil and Criminal Litigation on the Bar Practice Course.
Before joining Chambers, Charlie volunteered as a welfare benefits advocate, successfully appealing three cases in the First-Tier Tribunal. He also represented multiple claimants in the Employment Tribunal through the Free Representation Unit, including in a four-day disability discrimination case.
Charlotte holds a first-class degree in Classics from the University of Oxford, ranking third in her year for Classics and first in her year across three Honours Schools for Ancient History. She also holds a diploma in EU Competition Law from Kings College London, ranking first in her year. Prior to coming to the Bar, she trained as a Solicitor at Slaughter and May. She then worked at Duncan Lewis, focusing on strategic public law litigation. Before commencing pupillage, she worked at the Competition Appeal Tribunal as a Référendaire, where she assisted Tribunal panels with the conduct and resolution of competition cases.
Congratulations to Charlie and Charlotte.
