The Bar is changing with the modern world. Barristers are no longer distant, expensive and unapproachable. Instructing a ‘magic circle’ or ‘first division’ law firm can often prove to be a very expensive exercise. There is now a new and realistic option which is known as ' Direct Access' which allows a SME to have it's own independent general counsel.
Jeremy has 30 years experience in a variety of areas of law. He represents both companies and professionals before tribunals, and in regulatory or fraud cases. Since the Bar Council rules have been relaxed to allow Direct Access, he has acted as 'independent general counsel', often bringing in specialist solicitors ( and sometimes other barristers) in cases:
- Advising a company on general contracts, setting up business in China and raising finance
- Advice on Consumer Credit Licencing following criminal investigation into employees
- Counterfeiting and shareholder issues
- Possible investigation by GMC following malicious complaints against clinical director.
- Numerous investigations by SRA against small, medium and large solicitors practices.
By instructing Jeremy to act or manage the case/transaction in this way, the client receives a top quality service, often making significant savings on the fees that have been quoted elsewhere'.
