Instructing chambers
Our clerks
Our barristers are supported by a clerk who is available to deal with any enquiry you may have.
If you would like to instruct any of our barristers, please contact our clerks in the first instance. If you wish to instruct us, please email your enquiry to clerks@templecourt.co.uk or templecourt2@gmail.com.
Please contact our clerks with a brief description of your case, any relevant hearing or deadline, and the nature of the assistance required.
Fees and quotations
If you wish to obtain a quotation for our legal services either as a solicitor, member of the public or a licensed access body you may contact our clerk or our barristers individually. Our barristers may charge you either fixed rates or hourly rates.
You can agree the fee prior to any work being undertaken with the barrister or his clerking team.
Our published pricing models, indicative fees and the costs that may arise in addition to a barrister's fee are set out in the Direct Access pages.
Sending us your instructions
Correspondence with a barrister is traditionally addressed to his or her clerk. You can send your letter of instruction to 'Clerk to the barrister XX' followed by the chambers address.
All the documents you send must be copies. Barristers do not have the same facilities for storing files and the Bar Council's rules on Direct Access do not oblige a barrister to retain documents. Thus for your protection you should keep all originals and only send copies to your barrister. In an exceptional case where it is not possible to provide a copy please contact our clerks who will assist with making arrangements for safe delivery and return.
You do not incur any liability for fees simply by sending a letter of instruction. The barrister will review the papers to ensure the case is suitable for a Direct Access instruction. The clerks will contact you to agree a fee for the work you want the barrister to do. You will only incur liability for any fees when you have approved, signed and returned the standard client care letter.
In a limited number of cases the money laundering legislation requires a barrister to perform checks to verify the identity of his client. If this applies the clerks will contact you and inform you of the appropriate requirements.
