The Risks of Using Direct Access Without Preparation
While Direct Access offers flexibility and cost benefits, many clients underestimate the level of preparation required before instructing a barrister.
Barristers are specialists in advocacy and legal argument — they do not typically gather evidence, manage filings, or prepare court bundles.
Without professional preparation, risks can include:
- Incomplete evidence
- Disorganised documentation
- Missed procedural steps
- Inefficient barrister time usage
- Increased legal costs
