SFO Counsel List
At the beginning of 2009, we ran a recruitment campaign for junior counsel interested in being included on our Counsel List. Counsel applied for one of three panels; A, B or C.
The SFO operates a three panel system for junior counsel, categorising them according to the number of years they have been practising:
|
Panel |
Years in Practice |
Number of Counsel |
|
A |
More than 10 |
49 |
|
B |
Between 5 and 10 |
29 |
|
C |
Between 1 and 5 |
31 |
Appointment to the list was by open competition. A selection board carefully considered almost four hundred applications and selected 109 individuals. The new list was created in June 2009. View the current members of the SFO's Counsel List.
