Life at the Planning and Environmental Bar

Join barristers Esther Drabkin-Reiter and Brendan Brett for an engaging and interactive 90-minute workshop exploring life at the Planning and Environmental Bar.

This session will offer a unique opportunity to gain first-hand insight into the work of specialist barristers practising in planning and environmental law, the challenges and rewards of the profession, and the different career pathways available in this fascinating and evolving area of law.

FTB is a leading barristers’ chambers with expertise spanning planning and environmental law, public law, licensing, compulsory purchase and land valuation, major infrastructure projects, local government law, and a range of other specialist practice areas.

Despite the high public profile and often politically contentious nature of planning and environmental law, students rarely have the opportunity to explore what practising in this field involves on a day-to-day basis.

Through an interactive discussion, Esther and Brendan will share their professional experiences, offer practical insights into their work, and provide advice for students interested in pursuing a career at the Planning and Environmental Bar.

The workshop will also provide an opportunity to ask questions and network with the barristers, making it an invaluable session for anyone curious about this dynamic and impactful area of legal practice.

​We would appreciate it if you could register your RSVP using the 'Registration Form'. 

Only 35 spaces are available for the workshop. Don’t miss out!
