Direct Access to a Barrister
By instructing a barrister directly you gain the benefit of having a close working relationship with an expert without involving an intermediary. In some instances, It is no longer necessary to retain the services of a solicitor. You can, therefore, make cost savings because you incur just one set of legal fees whilst obtaining expert advice from the outset.
How does it work?
Direct Access instructions can be taken from individuals, companies or other professionals for specialist advice or representation in court.
Our Direct Access barristers can provide a range of legal services, including:
• Drafting of legal documents including, for example, employment contracts
• Representation at court or in tribunals
• Advisory services in writing or in conference
• Mediation of disputes without recourse to litigation
We have experts in the following areas of law:
• Employment and discrimination law
• Partnership disputes
• Company law
• Contractual disputes
• Debt actions
• Insolvency
• Landlord and tenant law
• Property disputes
• Matrimonial law
• Licensing
• Personal Injury
