New to working with a barrister? You’re not alone.

We’ve put together answers to the questions people ask us most often, so you can feel confident about the process before you get started.

What is a direct access barrister?
A direct access barrister is a qualified legal professional who can advise you, draft documents, and represent you in court, without needing to use a solicitor first.
How does Barrister Connect Work?
You tell us about your legal issue, and we match you with a suitable barrister. You’ll get a clear quote, agree terms, and work directly with your chosen barrister.
Do I need a solicitor as well as a barrister?
No. With the direct access route, you can instruct a barrister directly for legal advice or representation. If you do need a solicitor for specific tasks, we’ll let you know.
How much does it cost to instruct a barrister?
Fees depend on the complexity of your case and the barrister’s expertise. We’ll provide a clear, upfront quote before you commit to anything.
How quickly can I be matched with a barrister?
In many cases, we can match you within 24–48 hours. Sometimes the same day if your case is urgent.
Can I get help for urgent court hearings?
Yes. We often arrange emergency representation at short notice. Let us know your hearing date when you make your enquiry.
What areas of law can I get help with?
We cover a wide range of legal issues including Family, Employment, Property & Housing, Commercial, Public Law and more.
Who can use Barrister Connect?
Anyone in England and Wales can use our service. Individuals, businesses, landlords, employers or organisations.
How do I get started?
Simply complete our short online form to tell us about your case. We’ll match you with a suitable barrister and send you a clear quote.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. All information you provide is treated in strict confidence and securely stored in line with legal and regulatory obligations.
What happens after I submit my enquiry?
Our team reviews your information and contacts you to confirm details. We’ll then match you with the most appropriate barrister and provide your quote.
Can I choose my own barrister?
Yes. You can either accept our match or select a specific barrister from our network based on expertise and availability.
