Our Direct Access barristers welcome instructions from individuals, partnerships, companies, LLPs, unincorporated associations, local authorities, government departments, and any other entities. We are committed to representing, advising, and assisting you across various areas of law.

Instructing a barrister directly is a straightforward process. Simply fill in the contact form, and a member of our team will promptly reach out to you to discuss your requirements.
Advantages of Direct Access:

We assess each case to determine its suitability for public access. If we find that your case is not suitable, we will inform you promptly and assist you in finding a suitable solicitor if needed.

As a litigant in person, you will carry out certain tasks typically handled by a solicitor. This includes preparing necessary documents and instructions for the barrister. We provide guidance and support throughout the process.

We provide transparent fee structures in advance. Fees range from £100 to £600 per hour (plus VAT), depending on the nature of the task. We offer both fixed fees for specified work and hourly rates. Our goal is to offer competitive pricing while eliminating unnecessary duplication of fees.

Upon agreeing to the fees, you will receive a Client Care Letter outlining the terms of the contract with the barrister. It is essential to review this contract carefully, as it governs your relationship with the barrister.

Fees for each task or hearing are paid in advance in accordance with the Client Care Letter.
