How we differ

Not a chambers.
A clerking agency built around you.

A self-employed barrister working from his own office, on his own terms

Your practice. Your hours. Your terms.

Fully autonomous

You remain a self-employed, BSB-registered barrister. We clerk for you — we do not manage you, set targets or vet your decisions on instructions.

Free to accept work elsewhere

Take work from solicitors directly, from other agencies, from existing chambers connections. Nothing we do is exclusive. The cab-rank rule, your rules.

No chambers attendance

You do not have to attend a building, sit on committees, do marshalling or be on a rota. Work from home, from a regus, from court — wherever suits.

No rent, no levy

No chambers rent. No fixed monthly contribution. No marketing levy. A single transparent percentage on fees we actually collect for you.

No minimum hours

No minimum billables, no minimum sittings, no expectation of how many days a week you work. Pick the matters you want. Decline the ones you don't.

Keep your name

You practise under your own name and your own profile. We are the back office, not the brand. Your goodwill stays with you.

Traditional chambers vs. Clerk&Counsel

What changes when the
infrastructure does.

Traditional chambers
  • — Chambers rent and quarterly contributions
  • — Expected attendance, marshalling, committee work
  • — Practice direction shaped by the set
  • — Marketing levy and shared brand
  • — Clerks balancing dozens of competing diaries
  • — Exit involves notice periods and goodwill arguments
Clerk&Counsel
  • — No rent. No fixed monthly cost. Ever.
  • — No attendance, no rota, no minimum hours
  • — Your practice, your choice of instructions
  • — Free to clerk with others or take direct work
  • — Dedicated clerks who actually know your diary
  • — Leave whenever you like. Your name is yours.
