Practical guides for people considering whether a Direct Access barrister may be able to help with advice, drafting or representation.
These guides explain common Direct Access questions, what information to prepare before asking for a quote and how different types of legal problem may be scoped for barrister advice or representation.
The guides are general information only. A barrister or chambers will still need to assess your papers, deadlines and circumstances before confirming whether Direct Access is suitable and what fee or scope can be offered.
