Services for other professionals
Staple Inn’s Barristers accept instructions under the “Licensed Access” regime from members of any of the professional bodies listed below. This negates the need to instruct a solicitor to act as a middle man between you and the barrister and will lead to a reduction in costs.
In particular, our Property Team regularly accepts instructions to advise and assist surveyors. Please see the property team page for more details.
