It is free to submit an enquiry to Clerk & Counsel.

If you choose to instruct a barrister through us, a Clerk & Counsel service fee of up to £150 will apply depending on urgency. The service fee and the barrister's professional fee will be shown separately before you decide whether to proceed.

Barristers may also pay Clerk & Counsel separately for clerking and administrative services provided to them. These arrangements are separate from the service fee payable by you.

I have read and agree to the fee information above and the Privacy Policy, and I consent to Clerk&Counsel processing my personal data and sharing relevant details of my matter with independent barristers in order to respond to this enquiry. Their regulatory status will be verified for the proposed instruction, including Bar Standards Board registration where applicable.

Treated as confidential. Conflict checks run before any counsel is approached.

BSB-registered

Every barrister we put forward holds a current practising certificate and is regulated by the Bar Standards Board.

Honest routing

If your matter is not suitable for direct access, we will say so and help you find a solicitor first.

Transparent fees

Hourly, brief and conference fees agreed in writing before counsel accept the case.
