Exchange Chambers proudly announced the addition of two new barristers to its Leeds team, further strengthening its legal expertise in the region. Jordan Millican and Hateema Zia, both of whom recently completed their pupillage, are now fully-fledged members of the firm. Their arrival signifies a pivotal advancement in their professional trajectories as they join one of the most esteemed barristers’ sets in the UK.
During her pupillage, Hateema Zia fine-tuned her skills in commercial law under the mentorship of Steven Fennell. Her focus on this challenging area of law highlights the breadth of expertise that Exchange Chambers nurtures among its members. Zia’s transition from pupil to barrister marks a significant achievement, one that underscores the rigorous training framework she underwent.
In contrast, Jordan Millican dedicated his pupillage to mastering criminal law, guided by expert barrister Alex Menary. His successful completion of pupillage and acceptance as a full member of Exchange Chambers is a testament to the chamber’s comprehensive support system for burgeoning legal talents. Millican’s contributions are anticipated to further enhance the firm’s prowess in handling complex criminal law cases.

His commendation reflects the firm’s ongoing commitment to fostering the professional growth of its members. In his statement, I’Anson expressed his confidence in their future successes at the bar.
