📢 Calling all barristers! 📢

We would like to invite you to join Ofgem’s Office of the General Counsel's (OGC) barristers' EDI Networking event, at Blackstone Chambers, to explore opportunities for instructions and collaboration.

At OGC we are particularly excited about continuing to expand the diversity of our counsel base and would very much value the opportunity to meet members of the Bar with protected characteristics with whom we have not previously worked, who would bring a range of knowledge and experience to our work.

We are looking for barristers to help us advise on policy and legal matters to help us achieve our goals and deliver the transition to net zero. We are interested in meeting barristers from diverse backgrounds who have experience or an interest in:

- Public law

- Energy law

- Competition law

- Commercial law

- Insolvency law

If you are a barrister with experience of advising in any of these areas and you think that you can help Ofgem to diversify the pool of barristers that it instructs, please come and hear about our work! If you can’t make this event, feel free to get in touch.

Speakers:

- Sinead Murray, OGC General Counsel

- Sukhinder Lalli, OGC Legal Director, Enforcement

- Prof. Suzanne Rab, Matrix Chambers

- Natasha Simonsen, Blackstone Chambers
