Clerking promotions

31 January, 2022

Members of Essex Court Chambers are pleased to announce several promotions within the Essex Court clerking team which will take effect from today, Monday 31 January 2022.

  • Ollie Butcher who joined us in 2013, has been promoted to Team Leader.
  • Karl Alsleben who joined us over 10 years ago has been promoted as a Team Leader’s Assistant.
  • Demi Woolger has been promoted to a Team Leader’s Assistant, following a successful year as a Junior Clerk.

These three promotions represent an operational restructure responding to an expansion of Chambers including in consequence of new tenants following successful completion of their pupillages, a number of cross-recruits, five silk appointments in 2021 and six silk appointments this year. As a result, the clerking team has been restructured to ensure an optimum level of service and support is provided to members and clients.

Senior Clerk Joe Ferrigno said, “I am very proud to share the excellent news of several promotions within our clerking team here at Essex Court Chambers. Congratulations to Ollie Butcher, Karl Alsleben and Demi Woolger, three richly deserved promotions that reflect the great progress they have made at Essex Court Chambers.”
