Instruct Counsel

We match. You instruct.

Clerk&Counsel is a clerking agency — not a chambers and not a directory. Tell us about the matter and a clerk will personally identify suitable, available, BSB-registered counsel and come back to you with options.

I.

Send a brief

A short description of the matter, the urgency and any budget you have in mind.

II.

We shortlist

A clerk identifies suitable counsel — with availability and indicative fees — and comes back to you.

III.

Instruct

Engagement letter and conflict checks handled digitally. Counsel briefed promptly.

Documents (optional)
PDF, Word, images. Up to 5 files, 15 MB each.

Clients are never obliged to instruct the barrister we introduce. We actively encourage you to do your own research, compare counsel and choose the barrister you are most comfortable with. We do not charge clients for using our service — our fees are paid by the barrister as a percentage of their fees, in return for sourcing and onboarding new clients and carrying out administrative work on their cases.

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.
