BarDIRECT is an initiative by the Bar Council which enables organisations, with appropriate experience and expertise, to use the specialist advice and advocacy services of a barrister direct, without the intervention of a solicitor. The scheme operates through a licensing system run by the BarDIRECT Committee of the Bar Council. For more details see www.thebarcouncil.org.uk.
