In addition to being instructed by clients to act as advocates, we are regularly instructed to provide advice to our clients. This applies at all stages, including:

• at the beginning of the life of a project we may be asked to advise on the drafting of contractual obligations or other written instruments or on the impact of legislation.
• during the course of a project we may be asked to advise on potential claims as well as to draft demands, notices and other documents required by the project contracts.
• at any stage in relation to potential or actual disputes when we may be asked to advise on prospects, jurisdiction, evidence, quantum, settlement, enforcement and appeal.

Barristers at Atkin Chambers pride themselves on being able to provide creative solutions to practical legal problems in a clear and comprehensible form. We aim to provide advice in the format which suits the needs of the client, whether by telephone, by e-mail, in writing, by video-link or in person in conference.
