Barristers are lawyers who represent their clients in court. Barristers are hired by solicitors on behalf of their clients. Barristers are self-employed and are tenants of barristers' chambers.

Barristers practise various areas of law such as chancery law (estates and trusts), commercial law, common law (includes family, housing, and personal injury law), criminal law, entertainment law, environmental law, litigation law and sports law.

This dynamic role involves thorough legal research, in-depth case analysis, and the development of persuasive arguments on behalf of clients in court proceedings. Barristers collaborate closely with solicitors. Solicitors instruct barristers on behalf of clients and work together to develop strong case strategies and long-standing working relationships.
