Clerk ProfilesSenior Clerk Nick Newman
Nick has been a barristers' clerk since 1992. Prior to becoming Senior Clerk at Cloth Fair Chambers, he spent his entire career at QEB Hollis Whiteman Chambers. Within six years he had worked his way from ‘runner’ to First Junior Clerk. He held the position of First Junior for the following six years being an integral part of the clerking team over a period that recorded unprecedented success, year on year. Time outside chambers, life quickly disappears by virtue of spending time with his young family and sitting on the committee of Old Ignatians Football Club (the legs no longer stretch to playing).

A keen cook (she was a 1996 UK finalist in BBC’s Masterchef), she is also Chairman of the Friends of RAPt (Rehabilitation for Addicted Prisoners Trust) and organises the charity’s highly competitive annual quiz night (http://www.rapt.org.uk/news.php).
