Standards

Barristers in Chambers practise in civil and public law.

Our barristers advise and represent clients in the following areas of law:

Services Provided

Barristers at Temple Garden Chambers can provide you with independent legal advice in writing, by telephone, or at a face-to-face meeting. They can draft documents such as letters, documents required for court, instructions to experts, witness statements, contracts, other commercial agreements, and settlement agreements.

Barristers at Temple Garden Chambers can carry out advocacy before any court or tribunal in England and Wales, and before international courts and tribunals. They can also represent you at meetings, during negotiation, mediation and arbitration: anywhere you need someone to look after your interests and present your case.

Contact

The following are invited to contact the clerks on +44 (0)20 7583 1315 for a quote for our barristers‘ services (or email clerks@tgchambers.com):

  • Solicitors or other practising lawyers;
  • Licensed Access clients, who may either hold a licence issued by the Bar Standards Board, or be a member of a professional body which has been recognised by the Bar Standards Board; and
  • Members of the public who wish to instruct a barrister under the Public Access scheme.

We will provide you with a quote as soon as possible. We always aim to set out quotes clearly, but if you receive your quote and there is something you do not understand, please contact us.

Fees & Timescales

Barristers advise both in writing and in conference, draft documents, represent clients at joint settlement meetings/mediations as well as attending a variety of court hearings through the various courts/tribunals.

The timescale for providing our commonly provided services will vary depending on the nature of the instructions; an individual barristers other pre-existing professional obligations; the other side’s approach; and court waiting times.

The Barrister may agree to provide the Services for a fixed fee or may agree to provide the Services on the basis of an agreed hourly rate or on such other basis as may from time to time be agreed. Our barristers also accept instructions under conditional fee agreements (“no win, no fee” agreements) in certain circumstances. For information, please contact the clerks at +44 (0)20 7583 1315 (or email clerks@tgchambers.com).

The Fee will be based on the seniority of the barrister, the level of expertise required, the importance of the matter, the time scale required for completing the work and the amount of time it is likely to take. If there are any additional costs these will be discussed with you. These may include court fees, expert reports, train fares or overnight accommodation.

Public Access

If you are a member of the public, the Bar Standards Board’s Public Access Guidance for Lay Clients is enclosed (annex 1). This will help you to understand how the Public Access scheme works, and explains how you can use it to instruct barristers directly. You will also find attached fact sheets for Personal Injury and Employment law public access cases (annex 2).

Wellbeing

In May 2019 we were awarded a Certificate of Recognition from the Bar Council which demonstrates and reflects our commitment to the wellbeing of our barristers and staff, and our contribution to the wellbeing initiative in the profession.  We are currently working towards updating our Certificate.

‘TGC have taken a well-considered approach to wellbeing. We were pleased to see a focus on practice management and ways of working rather than a rush to introduce a range of eye-catching initiatives. Their clear focus on building solid foundations with respect to policy, governance and training are all critical in ensuring impact on this agenda.’ (Wellbeing at the Bar Working Group)
