81 barristers, verified on the BSB register Most people never hear this: for most legal problems you can instruct a barrister yourself. The Bar calls it direct access. In plain English, you hire the barrister directly, with no solicitor in the middle, and the fee is agreed in writing before anything starts.
From the moment you tell us what is going on, the path to your barrister is short, visible and yours to walk at your own pace.
A few sentences in your own words. No legal terms, no forms that assume you already know the answer, no documents needed on day one.
We show you verified barristers who handle problems like yours, with their experience, their fees and their availability all in the open.
Message the barrister through the platform and agree a fixed or hourly fee before anything begins. You see the full cost before you say yes.
Confirm the work with digital terms of engagement and identity checks, then your barrister begins. You pay securely online through the platform.
