The route a client takes to you
Most people looking for a barrister start with the problem they have, not with a name. We built the platform around that.
They search
Something close to the query in the box above. Our specialism pages are written at length and structured for search, so they rank for the searches your future clients actually type.
"family barrister essex"They land on your specialism page
Each of the 57 areas of law has its own page, with FAQs that answer what clients ask before they enquire, and a list of the barristers who cover it. You are on that list.
They read your profile
Your practice, your experience, your areas and your approach to fees, written with you and approved by you before it goes live. This is what persuades them to enquire.
They enquire, and we check it first
The enquiry comes to MyBarrister. Our team confirms it is a genuine matter, filters out anything that is not, and matches it to your practice. You are then offered the lead: accept it, and you quote the client on the work yourself.
What fifteen minutes with Harry covers
No pitch deck. A conversation about your practice and whether Direct Access clients are already looking for what you do.
Where you would appear. The specialism and regional pages your profile would sit on, and who else is listed there.
What the enquiries look like in your field. The kind of matters that come through in your area of law, and how they reach you.
How the profile gets written. What we need from you, how long it takes, and how you approve it.
Whether it is worth £150 a month for you. If it is not a fit for your practice, Harry will say so.
Most barristers I speak to already have the Public Access qualification. What they don't have is a route for those clients to find them. The call is about working out, honestly, whether that route exists for your areas of law.
Built for Direct Access
You did the training. The public can instruct you without a solicitor. What most barristers lack is not the qualification but a way for those clients to find them. That is the gap MyBarrister fills.
Direct Access, briefly
Direct Access (also called Public Access) is the arrangement that lets a member of the public or a business instruct a barrister directly, without going through a solicitor first. Barristers who have completed the Bar Standards Board's Public Access training may accept instructions this way. MyBarrister exists to bring those clients to you.
What membership includes
Listing on every relevant specialism page
Practise in three areas? You appear on all three pages, and on your regional page. There is no cap and no extra charge per area.
Vetted enquiries, offered to you
Nothing reaches you until our team has checked it is a real matter and a fit for your practice. You choose whether to accept, and you quote the client directly. No percentage of your fee, ever.
Direct Access explained on every page
Clients arrive already understanding they can instruct you without a solicitor, so you spend less time explaining and more time advising.
Marketing you do not have to do
Search optimisation, paid search and content are run centrally by MyBarrister, across all 57 areas of law and every UK region.
Control of the work
You accept the leads you want and decline the rest. You quote your own fees and deal with the client on your own terms. Nothing is agreed on your behalf.
£150 a month. Nothing else, ever.
One membership covers your listing across every area of law you practise in. Billed monthly, so the commitment stays small while you see what the platform brings you.
- No joining fee. You pay the first month and nothing more to start.
- No commission. Your fees are agreed by you and paid to you.
- No charge per enquiry. Ten enquiries cost the same as none.
- No minimum term. Cancel from your account before the next billing date.
The maths is not complicated
A single instruction of any substance covers several months of membership. Everything after that is margin on work you did not have to go looking for, at fees you set yourself.
Joining takes about a week

Questions barristers ask before joining
Do I need to be Public Access qualified?
Yes. Membership is open to barristers who have completed the Bar Standards Board's Public Access training and are entitled to accept instructions directly from the public. We will ask you to confirm this when you send us your material.
Is there really no commission or referral fee?
None. MyBarrister is a membership, not a referral agency. You pay £150 a month and keep 100% of the fees you agree with your clients. We never quote on your behalf and never take a percentage.
What happens when an enquiry comes in?
Every enquiry comes to MyBarrister first. Our team reviews it, filters out spam and anything that is not a genuine legal matter, and identifies the barristers whose practice and region fit. If that is you, you are offered the lead with the details of the matter. You can accept it and quote the client directly, or decline it. Enquiries are never sold on and we never take a cut of what you charge.
How many enquiries will I get?
We cannot promise a number, and we would be wary of anyone who did. Volume depends on your areas of law, your region and how complete your profile is. What we can say is that every lead you are offered has been checked first, ten enquiries cost exactly the same as none, and a single instruction of substance covers several months of membership.
Can I cancel?
Yes. There is no minimum term. Cancel from your account before your next billing date and your profile is taken down at the end of the paid month.
Does MyBarrister supervise or regulate my work?
No. Barristers listed on MyBarrister are individually regulated by the Bar Standards Board and remain responsible for their own professional conduct, insurance and client care. MyBarrister does not provide legal services and is neither a chambers nor a referral agency.
I am already in chambers. Can I still join?
Yes. Most members are in chambers. MyBarrister sits alongside your existing practice and brings you Direct Access instructions your clerks would not otherwise see.
Clients are looking for you.
Give them a name to find. Fifteen minutes with Harry will tell you whether MyBarrister can help your practice. Membership is £150 a month with no commission and no minimum term.
