Direct Public Access |
|
| Introduction | |
| In July 2004 the ban on barristers receiving instructions directly from members of the public was relaxed. Instead of instructing a barrister through a solicitor, in many cases members of the public can now approach and instruct a barrister directly. | |
| Services we can offer directly to members of the public | |
| Some of our Members of Chambers are available to accept instructions directly from members of the public. They offer advisory, drafting and advocacy services in the following areas of the law: | |
| - | Employment and discrimination law |
| - | Landlord and tenant law |
| - | Property disputes |
| - | Contractual disputes (generally) |
| - | Construction industry contracts and disputes |
| - | Consumer law |
| - | Debt actions |
| - | Partnership disputes |
