What direct access means
Direct access, also called public access, lets you instruct a barrister yourself for advice, drafting and representation. There is no solicitor in the middle and no referral fee. You agree a fixed fee in writing before any work starts, and every barrister on Barrister Link is on the public Bar Standards Board register, which you can check for yourself.
Are you a barrister? Public access clients without the admin: set your own fees, keep your own diary, and let the platform handle enquiries, identity checks and payment. No monthly fee on the Foundation tier.
