Barristers offer cost effective legal services at a fraction of the cost of using a Law Firm
Who is cheaper - a Solicitor or a Barrister ?
Getting specialist legal advice and representation is not cheap but, on the whole, using a ‘Direct Public Access’ Barrister is more affordable than using a Solicitor’s firm. Often using a Barrister can be cheaper than using a ‘paid for’ McKenzie Friend.
Why ?
Barristers are freelance lawyers with lower commercial overheads than Solicitors
When you pay your Barrister you are paying for their time and expertise - not the costs of running a Solicitor’s office
Barristers generally get to the point more quickly - Barristers generally charge fixed ‘brief’ fees rather than an hourly rate
