Chambers believes in the importance of meeting the needs of the
client, whether the requirement is for a rapid turn-around on advice
or documentation, to take a hearing at short notice, or to provide
sophisticated advice in response to complex problems. A member of
our clerking team is always available outside office hours if a
client urgently needs to instruct a barrister.
We welcome instructions from solicitors, in-house law departments,
qualified foreign lawyers, and clients licensed by the Bar Council
to give instructions directly to barristers under the Bar Council’s
Licensed Access Scheme. Barristers may also accept instructions
directly from clients in foreign jurisdictions, except if the work
relates to proceedings in a UK court or tribunal.
Some members of Thirteen Old Square are also qualified to accept
instructions directly from UK clients and/or in relation to UK proceedings
in appropriate cases. For details, please contact
the clerks.
Instructing Junior Members of Chambers
We consider that our junior members provide high quality advice
and advocacy whilst being cost-effective. They are always thorough
in their preparation and conscientious in meeting deadlines. We
believe that, taking into account the quality of service provided
and the cost to the client, they compare favourably to any of their
competitors.
