How to engage a barrister

Barristers in Australia are typically briefed by a solicitor on behalf of a client. If you are a member of the public, your first step is to retain a solicitor, who will then brief the appropriate barrister for your matter. Direct access by clients is available in limited circumstances under the Direct Access rules.

Brief fees and conference rates are set by the barrister and arranged through their clerk or list. The Vic Bar profile lists the relevant clerk.
