Barristers must be trained in Public Access before they are allowed to accept this type of work, so you can be confident they’ll have the skills needed to help you.
There’s a substantial financial benefit as legal costs are usually much higher when a solicitors fees are added to the bill, and correspondence is usually quicker as you deal directly with the Barrister. So you can often rectify a situation faster and with lower costs.
What’s more, all practising barristers are subject to the Code of Conduct set out by the Bar Standards Board, designed to protect their clients.
