What we do at Direct Access Barristers
First Class Service
If we do not act as the clerk for the barrister, Direct Access Barrister will find an appropriate barrister for your case. We will then offer the work to suitable barristers and invite them to take it on for the proposed fee. We will make every effort to find a barrister who will work for the agreed fees.
Whether it's direct access instructions or instructions from a solicitor to a barrister, and we are not serving as their clerk, Direct Access Barrister charges an administration fee, which is included in the quote you receive. This fee allows us to assist you in finding the right barrister, ensuring the best value, and guiding you through the instruction process. Payment of all fixed fees is required upfront.
- Where I am not acting as the barrister’s clerk, a separate administrative, marketing, and portal charge will apply. This charge forms part of the overall fixed fee arrangement.
- All fees will be agreed with you in advance, confirmed in writing, and will be fixed. The total fixed fee will include both professional fees and the administrative, marketing, and portal charge. The client care letter and invoice will set out clearly what is included.
Our barristers receive 100% of their fees.
All quotes provided include our administration fees, the barrister’s fees, and VAT. It’s a fully inclusive price with no hidden costs.
“Direct Access Barristers (the Company) acts as the barrister’s agent to collect fees. Payments received are for the barrister and are passed on. All fees belong to the barrister.”
