Direct access barristers allow clients to engage legal expertise directly, eliminating the need to hire a solicitor first. This approach offers several significant advantages:
- Cost Efficiency: By avoiding the dual costs of both a solicitor and barrister, clients can achieve substantial savings on legal fees.
- Direct Communication: Clients communicate directly with the barrister who will represent them, ensuring clear, consistent, and personalised advice and advocacy.
