1COR welcomes Josephine Lunnon and Samuel Talalay as new tenants - Sep 2026
Samuel Talalay joined Chambers as a tenant in October 2026 following the successful completion of his pupillage. He accepts instructions across all of Chambers’ practice areas.
During pupillage, Samuel gained invaluable experience in public law, notably in immigration, where he worked on judicial review proceedings and appeals to the First-tier Tribunal. He also gained experience in extradition, constitutional law (particularly on the subject of parliamentary privilege), human rights law, tax, inquests, data protection, clinical negligence, personal injury, employment law, and child sexual abuse cases.
Before pupillage, Samuel worked at the Ministry of Justice, where he coordinated all departmental parliamentary business (bar primary legislation), before moving into a policy role focusing on the constitutional limits on the operational powers of the Lord Chancellor.
Samuel previously spent 16 months seconded to the Ecole nationale d’administration in Strasbourg, during which time he studied alongside French senior civil servants and spent four months working at the European Court of Human Rights.
