New UK regulation developments allow you to bypass solicitors.

Article Category: Legal

Author Name: Kevin A. Butler

Recent revisions to the regulations that built upon key changes in the law in 2004 mean that members of the general public seeking legal advice or representation of any kind, including Criminal Law cases, can now approach a Barrister directly without the need to first engage the services of a solicitor.

This mechanism called "Direct Access" or "Public Access" is a momentous adjustment for the British Legal Profession that will definitely spare an individual appreciable financial and administrative fees and give them greater quality advocacy.

Direct Access was announced to permit an individual in urgent need of legal expertise the option to consult a specialist advocate, a barrister, in cost effective circumstances. Barristers have been available to be instructed since the change in the regulations in 2004 until recently this has not be well publicised. Not too long ago in a public survey only an insignificant percentage were conscious of the fact that they could directly speak with a Barrister without needing to get a solicitor as their interface.

This facility for making use of a Public Access Barrister in London or Direct Access Barrister in London has numerous potentially distinct advantages for you in terms of time, costs and quality of representation. It can be more effective in regards to:.

1. Purging communication delays.
2. Cutting down on duplicated briefings.
3. Reducing your costs.
4. Strengthened representation.

Barristers are considerably more approachable and the new procedures of Direct Access can offer you a quicker resolution to your legal problem whilst delivering cost savings.

Increased communication and engagement.
-------------------------------------
You get to meet and interact with your barrister from the beginning, thus warding off your related information being misinterpreted by being handled by an intermediate solicitor. This eliminates or at the very least reduces avoidable and duplicated briefings and meetings both with the solicitor who previously would then instruct and brief the barrister. If you engage a Barrister directly the overall time spent on your case is often reduced (and time is money) and the case can speed up. This is key if your case requires urgent action such as an injunction to prevent further damage by the other party.

Costs and expenses savings can be considerable.
-----------------------------------------------
By using a barrister directly under this scheme you eliminate immediately the costs of a solicitor, whose fees are often higher than those of a barrister.
Barristers' hourly rates are generally less than a solicitor of equivalent experience.
Contribute to this the savings that could be made (by directly instructing a barrister) as the overheads incurred by chambers are considerably below that of a solicitor.
Guideline figures produced by Her Majesty's Court Service establish that it is over twenty-five percent less expensive to use a barrister in the City of London as opposed to a solicitor. Note: http://criminallawbarristerlondon.co.uk/ provides further information.

If your case is in the capital there are clear and obvious time and cost advantages in having a Barrister based in London.
If cases are prolonged, delayed or rescheduled then it is far simpler when the hearings are held in the capital's courts for a London based Barrister to change their diary and thus not charge you waiting time or additional travel or accommodation expenses.
A provincial barrister may have more affordable fees than one located in London even so their supplementary travel expenses can often surpass the greater London rates, especially if your case is suffers date changes, extensions or overruns.

Superior quality of representation.
----------------------------------
A significant benefit is that you acquire direct access to an expert in the niche of Law appropriate to your case who has significantly greater relevant experience on complicated cases.
The more elaborate and high profile cases necessarily get heard in the capital so engaging a Direct Access Barrister in London seems to have many evident benefits.
Also a London Barrister has the advantages of closeness plus knowledge with the capital's higher courts and personnel. He or she is likely to be more experienced in more complex Criminal Law cases from the higher occurrence of such cases arising from the larger commercial and financial sectors in the capital.
A barrister will have naturally have greater gravitas in Court and have increased standing in court and in the eyes of the jury than a solicitor standing for you.

Other thoughts
--------------------
Developing a new relationship with a Direct Access Barrister in London should not be hard particularly if you prepare your relevant information ahead of time and in a logical manner. A barrister is professional, experienced and resourceful and most likely will have encountered a case similar to yours before and therefore can analyse it and extract the relevant facts very quickly. This makes engagement simpler and faster particularly if you provide them with prepared and structured information before you meet so they can prepare.

Concerning the lower courts you may find it more suitable to employ a solicitor rather than a Barrister if you or your company already have a proven relationship with a solicitors practice or an individual solicitor. Often a relationship is built up between a business and its entrusted solicitors practice over many years if not generations and to bypass them and go direct to a Barrister may possibly have "political" and personal fallouts for the your business.

You can directly instruct a Barrister in the greater number of specialist areas of the Law; Criminal Law being one. The Bar Council provides a list of which Law specialities allowed for Public Access engagement. As this is a shifting situation, with more areas being opened up, you should double check on the Bar Council internet site for a clear-cut up to the moment answer. Don't be afraid to approach a particular barrister and ask if they can work under "Public Access"; they or their chambers clerk will let you know if there are any circumstances preventing them representing you. More and more Barristers and chambers are opening up and supporting the new Direct Access approach as without doubt it is to their benefit as well as providing significant benefits to the public i.e. to you as the one with the legal problem.

There really are distant advantages for you in using a Direct Access Barrister in London and these benefits will guarantee that this mechanism becomes more prevalent. If you are hunting for a Criminal Law Barrister in London there appears no argument not to take advantage of the Public Access route.
