Factors which might influence the timescale for the provision of legal services may include: the complexity of the matter; the availability of the barrister; the volume of documents which need to be reviewed; the need for additional information or documents; and Court waiting times.
Members of Chambers will only accept work if they are available to meet the client’s requested deadline for the completion of the relevant instructions. Occasionally, such as when attendance is required on the return date for an injunction, their availability cannot always be guaranteed due to pre-existing commitments. In those circumstances, an alternative Counsel may be suggested.
