Family and property made up 60% of every direct access instruction we placed over the last six months.

Six cases in ten. Private children matters, divorce and finance, possession, landlord and tenant, boundaries, planning. The demand from clients in these areas is consistent and it is not slowing down.

If family or property is your practice, that work is already coming through the door. The question is whose diary it lands in.

We are taking on barristers from a variety of specialisms. Get in touch to find out more.

A new five star review for Nadeem Aslam Khan, and it is worth reading in full.

The client came to him through Barrister Connect with a complex personal injury matter at a difficult stage. Nadeem helped them work out what needed prioritising, guided them through obtaining expert evidence, and dealt directly with the expert consultants involved. With that groundwork done, the client was able to progress the case far enough to get a firm of solicitors on record to conduct the litigation.

What the review keeps returning to is not the technical work. It is that Nadeem was approachable, answered promptly, and brought his genuine human approach, understanding and compassion to someone at a genuinely stressful point.

That combination is what direct access should look like. Congratulations Nadeem!

When the system let him down, direct access to the Bar gave him a way forward.

Ron, aged 81, had spent over a year locked in a dispute with commercial tenants and their aggressive solicitor. His insurance cover fell through, and local solicitors quoted fees as high as the sum in dispute.

Then he instructed a barrister directly. Within a week of first making contact, Ron had Counsel's written opinion from Chima Umezuruike, at a fixed fee that was a fraction of the quotes he had received, and finally felt armed to stand his ground.

In his words: "I cannot speak highly enough of the service received. They will be my first port of call if I have future needs. 10/10."

Clear advice. Fixed fees. Direct access to specialist counsel.
