Instructing a barrister? Why not a solicitor? What do I need to do?

A barrister can also organise your bundle. They are legally trained, therefore can correspond on your behalf. They can build your case from the start.

Members of the public, are able to prepare their own bundles, statements, retrieve expert witness statements, correspond to the other side. In most cases, the average person is unaware and end up going to a solicitor. Where this is necessary a barrister would advise. For the able member of the public, they can prepare the necessary bundle, correspondence and request the barrister to review and finalise the bundle. Barristers are there to give you legal advice. When a solicitor needs the merits of a case assessed they generally head towards a barrister to give the merits of the case.
