Members of the public, companies and non-commercial organisations can now contact a barrister directly rather than having to instruct through a solicitor. For certain types of cases, this arrangement is appropriate and advantageous, and can produce results with significant savings in money and time.
5 St. Andrew's Hill is a team of experienced barristers based in the City. Its barristers have expertise and wide-ranging experience in criminal and civil law. Members are prepared to provide direct access representation in certain criminal cases, motoring offences, contract disputes and many other matters.
A clerk at 5 St. Andrew's Hill can review your case and arrange a meeting with an appropriate barrister who can advice you whether direct access is appropriate in your situation. Barristers can only accept direct access work on a private basis.
There are a number of advantages to direct access representation:
- You are able to choose a barrister who has the appropriate level of expertise and experience for your case.
- The cost of representation will be much lower than working through a solicitor.
- You will be able to work one-on-one with the barrister assigned to your case.
You can learn more about how to proceed with securing direct access representation. Contact 5 St. Andrew's Hill to learn more about Chambers direct access representation services.
