5RB today welcomes two new members of chambers. After successfully completing their pupillages, Victoria Shore and Victoria Jolliffe become the latest recruits to the media set.
After attending English Martyrs School in Hartlepool, Victoria Shore studied Jurisprudence at Greyfriars College, Oxford. A member of Lincoln’s Inn, she was awarded a Hardwicke Scholarship.

Prior to coming to the Bar, Victoria worked in the television industry and as a freelance journalist. Victoria was awarded a Thomas More Bursary from Lincoln’s Inn.
Welcoming the two newest members of Chambers, Joint Head of 5RB, Desmond Browne QC said:
“During their year of pupillage both Victorias have shown that they have all the qualities needed to succeed at the Bar. We are delighted they have agreed to join us as tenants, and confident that all our clients will soon share our very high opinion of their abilities.”
5RB also welcomes Catherine Rhind and Steven Reed, who joined as new pupils today.
Catherine went to Robert Gordon’s College in Aberdeen before being awarded a first class degree from Durham University and will be spending her first period of pupillage with Justin Rushbrooke.
