Why Choose a Direct Access Barristers?
The main advantage is simple:
You can deal directly with the barrister.
If your case is suitable for Public Access, you may not need a solicitor to act as an intermediary.
A barrister may be able to assist with a defined piece of work such as:
- Legal advice
- A written opinion
- Drafting a document
- Preparing for a hearing
- Settlement advice
- Advocacy at court or tribunal
This can be particularly useful if you already understand your case but need specialist legal advice or representation at an important stage.
Direct Access is not right for every case. Where a matter requires extensive case management, disclosure or ongoing litigation work, a solicitor may be more appropriate.
The aim is not simply to avoid instructing a solicitor.
The aim is to find the right legal professional for the work you actually need.
