Public Access Scheme

The Bar was historically a referral profession, which meant that barristers could only accept instructions from a professional client such as a solicitor.  The system was similar to the way a consultant doctor sees a patient on a GP’s referral. However, a liberalisation of the legal services market means that barristers can now accept instructions from clients directly under the Public Access Scheme. 

Instructing a barrister under the Public Access Scheme can save you money (as you are only paying for one lawyer as opposed to a solicitor and a barrister), and it allows you to have complete control over your choice of specialist adviser, and gives you a direct line of communication with them. 

Yasmin is Direct Access qualified so you can able to instruct her directly without having to instruct her through a solicitor.
