What is a Barristers’ Clerk?

Clerks are typically required to manage the practice’s diary, which involves:
- scheduling meetings
- arranging transportation of files and papers to and from the court
- negotiating fees on behalf on their barristers
- be involved in the ongoing marketing development of the business
- ensuring all activities are adhering to current compliance standards.
Depending on the level at which they are working, clerks will be required to:
- suggest barristers for particular cases according to their set practice area(s)
- fix cases
- manage barristers’ practices
- oversee the chambers’ administrative systems to ensure information is kept up to date and in line with best practice
Barristers’ Clerks are sometimes referred to as Practice Assistants or Assistant Practice Managers, depending on the level of responsibility they are required to undertake.
