Why use Barristerlink?
Barristerlink is a new online portal service that allows solicitors to contact numerous sets of chambers simultaneously to check counsel availability. The service is FREE to solicitors as it is funded by chambers which pay a monthly marketing fee to have their details marketed on the site. Barristerlink can be used by any organisation that has employed solicitors within it, such as local authority legal departments, insurers, company in-house legal departments and other new legal alternative business structures.
How it works
Register on the website www.barristerlink.com and complete the “Who’s available?” questionnaire. Your enquiry form is sent to all chambers (without disclosing your details) that have registered for this particular category of case.
