Barristers apply for membership to Hemmant’s List Ltd, a company limited by guarantee. Every member of the list is a member of the company.
Its directors or their delegates consider the applications, making their decisions guided by the barristers’ attributes but also, importantly, his or her contribution to the breadth and depth of the List.
The List aims to hold an appropriate diversity of personal and professional attributes, including practice areas, experience, gender and culture so as to enable the List to offer a suitable barrister for clients’ needs.
