Calm and confident from the first contact. You reassured my nerves, explained everything in plain English, and matched me with the right Barrister in no time.

Unbelievably grateful. You were so supportive during a really stressful time when I found myself without counsel. Quick, professional, a top service.

Before you decide
Usually, yes. Instructing a Barrister directly removes the Solicitor's fee for managing your case, so you only pay for the Barrister's work. On a typical matter that can be up to 40% less than the traditional route. We agree a fixed fee in writing first, so you always know the price before you commit.
Direct Access Barristers are fully qualified, regulated by the Bar Standards Board, and trained specifically to work with clients directly. It suits many cases but not all, some matters need the ongoing support a Solicitor provides. If yours does, we'll tell you honestly rather than take it on.
Direct Access (also called Public Access) lets you instruct a Barrister yourself, without going through a Solicitor first. You deal directly with the Barrister doing the work on your case, which is often faster and more affordable.
Nothing is paid until you decide to instruct. Our clerk will give you a fixed-fee price by phone, and only if you're happy to go ahead do you pay. No obligation, no upfront charge for the quote.
Common areas include employment, family, civil and contract disputes, and property, among others. Suitability is assessed case by case, so the simplest way to find out is a quick call, our clerk will tell you whether Direct Access is right for your matter.
