Instructing Counsel

Our Family & Divorce team have created a compelling channel for family lawyers which will provide news, insights, and some personality to complex legal cases.

Our podcasts will convey thought leadership throughout our episodes as well as simplify and discuss implications of key cases in family law. We will also aim to save solicitors some time in summarising and explaining developments.

Episode 9: Instructing Counsel

In this episode, Georgina Swinglehurst and Glen Pritchard discuss all things to do with instructing counsel – ideally when should solicitors get counsel involved? Who should they instruct on each case? What makes a great brief? Having both previously worked in solicitors’ firms, they also share their top tips on how to build the best relationships between counsel and instructing solicitors.
