Solicitors have good working relationships with barristers and know how to effectively instruct a barrister and take control of the day to day administration or conduct of litigation. The majority of work carried out by us is referred to by solicitors.

Shobana Iyer has worked in employed practice in City firms and as in-house counsel so we are aware of the pressures and competing demands that your clients and the Bar place on solicitors and in-house counsel. We synergise with solicitors to create a strong reliable team with the legal skills that a case demands.

Standard Terms of Business for Authorised Persons/Solicitors: We provide legal services to Authorised Persons/Solicitors under the Bar Council’s approved Standard Contractual Terms (“SCT”) of Work as set out in Annex T to the Bar Code of Conduct (as published on the Bar Councils’ website), unless expressly amended by written agreement.
