What we do best

Over 10 years of experience.

A Commissioner of Oaths is one who is duly authorised and entrusted with the ability to witness the signing and swearing of documents and to verify legal documents and/or affidavits (a written statement confirmed by oath) for use as evidence in court.

Our barristers have these powers but are restricted from using them in proceedings in which they are acting on behalf of any of the parties. Our barristers are available to advise on and draft change of name deed polls, affidavits, statutory declarations, or powers of attorney; and certify copy documentation (including passports) as and when necessary, for individual clients and companies.

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.
