How does a family law barrister differ from a family law solicitor?
Although both barristers and solicitors are classed as lawyers, barristers do provide a different service from solicitors. As barristers, we are specialists in presenting cases in court, particularly complex cases. This means that we can take your case on from start to finish. This is different from solicitors, who will often handle the case until a court appearance is required before handing it over to a barrister who will handle the case from then on. Because of this, we are often instructed by solicitors when their clients require representation in court.
