Terms & conditions

Our standard terms of business with solicitors and authorised persons are the Bar Standards Board-approved Standard Conditions of Contract for the Supply of Legal Services by Barristers to Authorised Persons, as from time to time amended. This can be accessed here.

Any reference to standard terms or normal contractual terms is a reference to those terms. Our barristers only work on these terms (eg for private paid work), except where they do not apply (such as LSC work) or where an alternative contract is in place, in writing and in advance, which excludes or supersedes those terms.

Terms sent on the back of instruction letters or included or incorporated within briefs or instructions will not be accepted by Park Square BarristersĀ unless the clerk or practice managerĀ has given written approval/consent on behalf of a barrister or group of barristers to work on those terms at the time a booking is taken, or before written instructions are sent to us.
