Accessing the right legal expertise is the first step, but true value is realised when your case is professionally presented from the outset. While the Public Access Scheme allows you to instruct a Barrister directly, the effectiveness and cost of the engagement often hinge upon one crucial element; a clear, concise, and professionally organised case file.
 

Just Law's role is to prevent the inefficiency that can occur when Barristers must sift through unstructured documentation. Drawing on commercial and case-handling experience, we work with you to:
 

• Extract the key facts and understand the situation in detail.

• Collate every piece of relevant evidence and supporting material.

• Assemble documents into a coherent, professional brief.

 

This ensures that when Counsel is instructed, their time is spent solely on legal analysis, not administrative clutter. The result is a more efficient engagement and a significant reduction in cost at the outset. 
 

The Engagement Process:
 

• Shortlist Barristers whose expertise and fee structure fit your matter.

• Confirm availability, carry out conflict checks, and clarify the scope of work before instruction.

• Collate and organise all evidence and supporting materials. 

• Assist drafting clear and compliant instructions. 

• Agree on a transparent fee structure, prioritising fixed or capped fees where possible.

• Maintain open communication channels so all parties stay aligned.

 

We work alongside your chosen Barrister, providing expert support. We do not act as your legal representative, but instead enhance your legal journey by helping you prepare effectively and to communicate clearly with Counsel.
