Clerking

The initial contact with Barristers is usually made through our clerks. Their purpose is to provide friendly, helpful assistance to all our clients. They will (when required) assist you with the selection of Counsel and liaise with you over the future conduct of your case. It is our objective to ensure that every client receives a focussed professional service; as such have two specialist diary clerks and a designated fees clerk assisting the Senior Clerk. Between them the clerks have over 60 years' experience.
