Why Choose Us

Our Direct Access Barristers

Multifaceted & Interdisciplinary

Our barristers in London are cross qualified so you don’t have to go from one solicitor’s office on the High Street to barristers’ chambers at the Inns of Court.

Excellent Value

A barrister usually has lower overheads, so this will usually be more economical than retaining the solicitor alone and will cost less than instructing both.

Maximum Efficiency

You get the earliest possible direct access to the specialist – not just when a problem gets to Court. This could save you the headache, heartache and expense of avoidable litigation.

Full Transparency

You will normally know in advance the basis upon which the work will be charged, as well as your advisors view on likely prospects of success.
