It's good to talk...directly to your barrister
Article Abstract:
Direct professional access to barristers in the UK for members of other professions has brought a range of advantages. These include cost savings, as barristers are generally less expensive than solicitors, and the provision of a direct route to a vast expanse of barristerial experience. Direct professional access has been extremely successful in some areas. However, it is still rare for the construction professions to directly instruct the construction Bar.
