What is Complete Counsel?

Complete Counsel is an established business providing support to barristers. Launched in early 2015, we provide services to barristers on a contractual basis. Complete Counsel aims to concentrate resources where they make the most difference to a barrister’s practice and income.

Understanding why we represent the best form of service can best be appreciated by contrasting our approach with that found in many chambers.

Do you

Have an established or developing specialist practice?
Understand the need to network in a challenging market
Appreciate the use and value of social media?
Feel some tenants are a drain on the clerking resources especially those with no real drive to develop things for themselves? This is in spite of the fact your contribution to Chambers remains high, reflecting your earnings but you are left to fend for yourself most of the time?

Are you

disheartened by the amount of meetings and announcements of major new strategies only to find things continue in a very similar way?
increasingly frustrated by the lack of support and performance in your chambers?
discontented that your fee collection consists of the issue and re-issue of electronic invoices and receipts as opposed to actively chasing outstanding debt?

We can offer you

support with the development of your practice with Claire Labio an experienced and determined Practice Director in accordance with an agreed plan.
significant marketing opportunities in particular through the parallel business of Pro-Vide Law which provides education and training services. Our training site has over 4000 hits a month from specialist solicitors, insurers and defence bodies.
persistent, personal and effective fee collection by Helen Southworth a knowledgeable and meticulous financial manager with over 35 years experience in Chambers.
preparation of financial information sufficient for onward transmission to HMRC.

a clear opportunity to maximise your profile and earnings

Sole Practitioners

Are you a Sole Practitioner or a person who in effect manages their own practice within an existing Chambers?
Do you think that your practice would be enhanced by an efficient diary and fee collection service but do not want to pay for other chambers services which you feel do not add value to your practice?
Are you looking for a business which can provide cost effective service and support from experienced professionals?
