New Court Chambers and its Members are regulated by the Bar Standards Board.
New Court’s barristers practice in all areas of Family Law (private law children, public law children, and financial relief), in areas relating to the Court of Protection, and in some areas of Civil Law (particularly those relating to the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 199). Please consult the individual profile of our barristers for details of each Member’s specific practice area(s).
Barristers at New Court Chambers offer legal advice and representation at all level of court hearings in the above practice areas. This includes representation at hearings in the Family Court, County Court, Court of Protection, High Court and Court of Appeal. Our barristers act for all parties to such proceedings, including parents, children, protected parties, and local authorities. Our barristers also provide advice and opinions about prospective proceedings, advice about the merits of appeal, and advice/drafting about non-litigious areas of law, such as the preparation of pre and post nuptial agreements.
Some of our barristers are ‘direct access qualified’ which means they can accept instructions directly from lay clients. You can download the Bar Standard Board’s guidance explaining how the Public Access scheme works, and how you can use it to instruct barristers directly, here.
Various factors may influence the timescale of the provision of services by New Court’s Members. These vary from case-to-case, but can include: (i) the availability of the client, the barrister, or any relevant third party; (ii) the complexity of the case; (iii) the amount of papers the barrister needs to review; (iv) the need for additional documents or information; (v) the approach taken by the other side; (vi) third parties intervening in the case; and (vii) court waiting times.
Chambers’ most commonly used pricing models are hourly rate, fixed fee, and brief fee with refreshers.
Lay and professional clients can ask us for a quote to undertake work in any area of law in which we practice. To do so, please contact our clerks. Our clerks may ask you to provide further information before providing a quote; however, this is so that we are able to quote a meaningful range for the legal service(s) in question. We will always aim to provide quotes within a reasonable time period of 14 days, and will treat urgent requests with the highest priority. Please note, provision of a quote does not amount to the acceptance of instructions by a Member of New Court Chambers.
