A ‘great team leader’, Love helms a clerks’ room that has ‘gone up a notch in recent years’ and provides a ‘second-to-none’ service thanks to ‘some of the best clerks in London’.

Also in the team, deputy senior clerk Jamie Clack ‘could not be more helpful or responsive’; Antony Braeger is a ‘standout’ practice manager.

He is ‘personable, helpful, pragmatic and easy to get on with’, and rated by some as being ‘among the best clerks’. ‘Very smart, decisive and highly responsive’ deputy senior clerk Jamie Clack ‘grasps the outline of a brief very quickly, even in complex cases, which makes dealing with him very straightforward’.

Facilities

However members of 5RB are also happy to have conferences fixed at solicitors’ offices to suit their or their clients’ convenience, and on request arrangements can be made for the delivery or collection of papers to or from solicitors’ offices. We are also happy to arrange conference calls.

Technology

All Members of 5RB and clerks are contactable by email and drafts of documents can be collected or delivered or can be sent by e-mail.

We are happy to accept instructions by email, but we would ask that you always telephone us in advance, and that you send all emails to Chambers’ main email address at clerks@5rb.com.

The Clerks’ room is equipped with a computerised fee and electronic diary system. Chambers operates an internal network providing access to the Clerks’ Room as well as law reports and Judgments.

Fees Fees Fees in each case are considered individually and factors such as the time taken in preparation, reading and drafting and the importance and complexity of the case are all taken into account. Hourly rates for any particular barrister can be given on request, as well as estimates for specific items of work. The Clerks are happy to discuss fees and deal with any queries that may arise.

Conditional Fee Agreements

In appropriate cases, 5RB barristers will consider acting under Conditional Fee Arrangements, in accordance with the relevant legislation. We work with firms of solicitors who have experience of arranging after-the-event insurance, to protect the Claimant from liability for the costs incurred by the Defendant, and to protect the Defendant from being left without recourse for his/her costs, if successful in his/her defence.

Can you instruct us? 5RB have a team of barrister’s from KCs to Junior Counsel licensed to undertake public, professional and licensed access work. Our team have all completed the Bar Council’s accredited course.

What is Public Access? You can now contact 5RB directly. Members of the public and commercial and non-commercial organisations are now able to instruct barristers directly on most civil matters. Bar Council rules changed in 2004 to allow members of the public to come direct to barristers for legal advice or representation without going through a solicitor or another qualified intermediary first. This is known as Public Access. Click here to read more about instructing us via the direct public access scheme.

The two other ways to instruct barristers are as follows: Professional Client Access. Solicitors, qualified in-house lawyers and other authorised litigators may instruct barristers directly either on behalf of clients or on their own account in any matter for all types of work. Licensed Access. Licensed access is a licensing system whereby organisations or individuals who are suitable to instruct barristers because they have expertise in particular areas of law can apply to the Bar counsel to be licensed to instruct barristers directly in those areas. The licensed access licensing scheme ensures that the referrer has the skills necessary and the facilities available to instruct the Bar direct. Services available to overseas clients Barristers of 5RB provide advocacy and advisory services direct to overseas lawyers, corporate clients and individuals in various countries including the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Nigeria, and the West Indies.

We can

be instructed directly for timely, cost-effective advisory services within our specialist areas of law in England and Wales and the European Court of Human Rights; advise and assist in litigation preparation; provide specialist advice and assistance on the drafting, interpretation and enforceability of contracts governed by the law of England and Wales and other common law countries; provide a 24/7 rapid response for all your pre-publication and urgent injunction issues; provide mediation, alternative dispute resolution and arbitration services. We understand how important it is to establish a relationship prior to need; therefore we encourage you to contact us to learn how we can help you BEFORE the need arises.

Availability We offer a 24/7 service with a clerk and at least two barristers on call at all times. The clerks’ room is open from 8:30 am to 6:30 pm Monday to Friday.
