About Us

 Direct Public Access

 

We warmly welcome businesses and individuals coming to us direct without first going to a solicitor. You can now have your legal problem or case resolved by a barrister alone.

 

Straight to a barrister, no detours.

 

In most cases we do not pass on the case as a solicitor may have to since, as barristers, we have full rights of audience in all courts and tribunals and long experience in acting as specialist advocates.Call Gerard Quirke on 07983 565690.

 

Don't Pay for Two Lawyers Where One Will Do 

 

You do not need to pay for two lawyers where one will do.

 

We are authorised by the Bar Council to deal directly with any member of the public as well as with the professions, licensed bodies and any business.

 

We are used to working within tight time constraints. Solicitors often ultimately turn to us to resolve a problem for them.

 

Our overheads are much lower than a solicitor's practice, which enables us to carry out much of the same work with the considerable expertise of a barrister, more responsively, and at a lower cost.

 

Ready and Speedy Resolution Through Direct Access

 

If you have a commercial, business or property dispute, you may well find that it can be more readily and speedily resolved by direct access.

 

A great deal of our work is conducted on a pre-agreed fixed fee basis, ensuring that clients understand their costs in advance and are not subject to the unpleasant surprises which can arise from solicitors’ more usual practice of charging by the minute.

 

Other areas of this website set out all the areas of law in which we act on a direct (as well as indirect) access basis.

 

We are happy to discuss your case with you to assess its suitability to being resolved directly by a barrister specialist.
