A Modern Perspective on an Esteemed Profession with James Whiting

from GetBriefed Podcast · host Briefed

In the first episode of our 2025 season, we welcome the current CEO of Doughty Street Chambers, James Whiting.  Having only recently stepped into the chambers world in 2022, James brought with him a plethora of knowledge gained from 25 years in the charity sector, where he picked up vast amounts of experience in deputy director and director roles. Taking on the role of CEO at one of the UK’s most esteemed chambers was surely daunting, but James’ focus has remained firmly and maintaining the set’s reputation and driving it on to the next level. This episode sees James discuss the essence and ethos of a set like Doughty Street Chambers, the development of the profession from an ‘outsider’s’ perspective and the importance of a chambers’ roster.
