What You Need to Know About Hiring a Criminal Law Barrister

Do you require the services of a criminal law barrister? Sometimes, determining the answer to this question can be more complicated than it seems on the surface. At Galbally Parker, we are here to help you determine the type of legal representation you require for your criminal law case.

How Much Do You Know about Melbourne Criminal Barristers

We are proud to employ some of the finest Melbourne criminal barristers working today. But what exactly is a barrister, and in which types of cases are their services required? Here are a few facts you may or may not know about barristers:

Solicitors and barristers are different: The terms ‘lawyer’ or even ‘criminal law lawyer’ can have a broad meaning, encompassing both solicitors and barristers. Solicitors and barristers both have a wealth of knowledge in the legal field. Solicitors are exceptionally skilled at preparing cases and advising clients, among other things. They can also appear in court, though doing so is not necessarily their speciality.
Barristers play a vital role in courtroom cases: If you need a criminal offence lawyer to represent you in court, you will likely want to hire a barrister. Barristers specialise in courtroom advocacy. They work with solicitors and their clients to learn more about the case in question and to formulate a strategy for the courtroom. From there, the barrister will appear in court to argue the case and defend the client. Barristers have a deep understanding of litigation tactics and often specialise in a specific area of law.
Barristers do not work in law firms: Typically, barristers work independently, whereas solicitors practice as part of law firms. Law firms and their clients will then engage the services of barristers if a courtroom advocate is required.
