“Working with Claire and the Complete Counsel team is invaluable to me in building my practice in the North West. The personal relationships that they have with the leading Liverpool firms has opened doors for me which would have been very difficult to unlock without them.”

James ByrneBarrister client

“Whilst maintaining my position at Temple Tax as Head of Chambers, I see making the Bar more accessible to professionals and clients in the North West a priority for a specialist. It is a question of using a service that has local knowledge and will develop contacts and opportunities.”

Michael SherryBarrister client

“Both myself and my solicitor clients have found that Complete Counsel is able to offer all the services that a traditional chambers would provide albeit streamlined and modernised. The team’s local and national knowledge is second to none and with Complete Counsel’s assistance my practice has continued to develop and flourish in a difficult climate.”

Ana SamuelBarrister client

“I joined Complete Counsel over two years ago as a junior barrister and have not looked back. The clerking team of Claire Labio, Helen Southworth and Emma Wall are excellent. They have helped me develop a specialist practice through their knowledge, experience and relationships with local, regional and national solicitors.”

Charles AustinBarrister client

“I joined Complete Counsel in 2015 and found the service is at a high standard and the staff are extremely professional. Helen and Emma have gone above and beyond the work required to ensure my work and diary are managed effectively. My instructing solicitors have all been very impressed with the service. It is like having your own personal assistant without the high costs of chambers. You are made to feel part of the team and have the freedom to take up judicial appointments without fees, which is very attractive if you are in a chambers and paying high fees out of your judicial earnings.”
