Instructing Us
New Square Chambers Picture

We aim to make the process of instructing us simple, with a straight-forward, user-friendly approach designed to ensure that clients receive the standard of service they require. We understand the need to be flexible and to work together as a team to provide practical solutions. Our clerks will help our clients to find the barrister best suited to their needs.

Our clerks adopt the same approach when discussing fees and are always willing to provide estimates of fees and a timetable for completing work.

We accept instructions from the following:

  • Solicitors, other authorised litigators, employed barristers and legal advice centres in England & Wales;
  • European lawyers registered with the Law Society, and lawyers, professionals and individuals from other jurisdictions;
  • Licensed professionals in the UK under the Licensed Access scheme;
  • Members of the public under the Public Access scheme

If you would like to instruct one of our barristers, then please contact the clerks
