Pay differs between core area/ Court of the Chambers, your city, and naturally, designated vs. senior-by-experience. No experience of Disputes Teams, hence cannot comment.
You'll come across vacancies saying "standard" pay.
Enter Narrator;
Narrator: There was never any 'standard' pay.
I have come across 0-2 Juniors at my Tier-1 City, HC Principal Bench being paid a stipend starting as low as 5K, going upto 20K at Chambers of some experienced non-designated Advocate. Know someone from a Designated Senior's Chamber getting base 30K. (Cannot really verify the figure.)
Most Chambers do not really bar juniors from taking up their own matters, so long as the Chamber work gets done.
and simultaneously, pay in disputes team in law firms? thanks
