Company name: Crighton Chambers

Description: ‘Traditionally, a member of the public would go to a Solicitor with their legal problem and the Solicitor would turn to a Barrister when needed for their expertise and advocacy skills. That remains the way most barristers work today but several thousand barristers are now trained to take work directly from the client. The DAP statistics indicate this approach is gaining traction with the public and members of the profession. Potentially, by going directly to a barrister a client could save money because they don’t have to pay a Solicitor as well’
