Coram Chambers is proud to announce that barrister Srishti Suresh has been featured in a recent ‘Meet the Barrister’ article on LawCareers.Net. With a law degree from the University of Oxford and a call to the Bar in 2018, Srishti has quickly established herself as a dynamic advocate in family law, specialising in both public and private law.
In her interview, Srishti articulately discusses her journey into law, describing it as a harmonious blend of creativity and critical reasoning. “The law allows you scope for innovative reasoning,” she explains, highlighting the inherent intersection between invention, problem-solving, and the pursuit of justice that drew her to the profession in the first place.
Srishti’s insights extend to the process of applying for pupillage, where she notes that while mini-pupillages can be beneficial, they are not essential. “Having done a mini-pupillage is useful, but not having done one isn’t an obstacle,” she explains, emphasising the importance of demonstrating relevant skills and authentic self-representation in applications.
Sharing her experiences from a notable case, Villiers v Villiers [2020] UKSC 30, Srishti reflects on the invaluable lessons learned from observing senior counsel in action. Her commitment to continuous improvement is evident in her approach to professional development, drawing on discussions with colleagues to refine her judgement and practice.
Srishti is passionate about the collaborative culture at Coram Chambers, where she appreciates the support and camaraderie among barristers of all levels. “You need to feel like you’ve got people rooting for you, and at Coram, that’s there in spades,” she asserts.
Beyond her work, Srishti is also deeply involved in diversity and inclusion initiatives, contributing to projects like Bridging the Bar, which helps aspiring barristers through mentorship and mini-pupillages.
