Frequently Asked
Questions

What’s the difference between a lawyer and a barrister?

‘Lawyer’ is a general term for a legal professional who may be qualified to offer legal advice, draft legal documents, or represent clients in legal matters. 

A barrister is a specific type of lawyer who specialises in courtroom advocacy and litigation. Barristers are often engaged by solicitors to provide expert legal opinions or to appear in court on behalf of their clients, but can also be instructed directly by members of the public through the direct access scheme.

At Barrister Connect, we specialise in connecting clients with expert barristers who can provide advice on a case, offer assistance with drafting legal documents, or represent them before a judge.

How much does it cost to hire a barrister through the direct access scheme?

The cost of hiring a barrister can vary widely based on several factors, including the complexity of your case, the seniority of the barrister, and their main areas of expertise.

However, instructing a property barrister through direct access is generally more cost effective than doing so via a solicitor, since you’ll be paying just the one professional, rather than two.

At Barrister Connect, we adhere to a fixed fee model. This means the quote that you receive from us includes everything from start to finish, so there are no hidden surprises. Once you have our quote, the fees won't change unless the scope of the work does.

 

How can a property law barrister help with my case?

If you’re facing a property or planning matter, our team is able to help at all stages of proceedings.

Our barristers can assist in small-scale matters, including private landlord and tenant disputes, division of trusts and estates, and possession claims — but also in more complex litigation, such as acting for or against developers in planning disputes, commercial acquisitions, and property and land transactions.

Our team regularly act for homeowners, private landlords, tenants, commercial entities, and probate clients alike — and will always tailor their support to your unique circumstances and goals.

How quickly can I access legal advice or representation?

We aim to provide a fixed-fee quote for all enquiries by the next working day — and in many cases, are able to do so even sooner.

The nature of direct access is such that, once your fees are paid. you'll be communicating directly with your barrister. This often means quicker access to the legal support you need, without the additional hurdle of communicating through a solicitor or third party.
