Exchange Chambers has recently strengthened its Leeds branch by adding two accomplished barristers to the team. This significant development is part of the set’s ongoing commitment to fostering legal talent across its locations.
Jordan Millican and Hateema Zia have completed their pupillage, a critical step in their legal journey. During this period, each focused on distinct areas of law — Jordan on criminal law, supervised by Alex Menary, and Hateema on commercial law, guided by Steven Fennell. Their successful transition from pupils to full members of Exchange Chambers marks an important career milestone.
Jonathan I’Anson, the chief executive, extended a warm welcome to the new members, expressing confidence in their future contributions to the bar: “We welcome Jordan and Hateema as full members of Exchange in Leeds and wish them every success at the bar.”
Exchange Chambers is highly regarded for its dedication to the development of its members. The Legal Cheek Junior Barrister Survey 2023/2024 acknowledges the set for providing exceptional on-the-job advocacy training, noting its unique position outside of London and involvement in significant legal matters.
The recent addition of Millican and Zia reflects Exchange Chambers’ reputation as a leading provider of legal services and its continuous support for the growth and development of barristers across its branches in Leeds, Manchester, and Liverpool.
This expansion further cements Exchange Chambers’ position as a cornerstone in the legal sector, renowned for nurturing future barristers.
