Barrister

Barristers are specialist legal advisers and courtroom advocates in the UK. They play a key role in representing individuals, organisations, and government bodies in legal cases. Barristers provide expert legal opinions, draft legal arguments, and stand before judges in courts to present cases. Most barristers are self-employed and work in chambers, although some are employed by organisations. The job requires strong analytical skills, excellent communication, and a deep understanding of the law. Becoming a barrister is highly competitive, and it involves rigorous academic and practical training. Barristers often specialise in areas such as criminal law, family law, or commercial law.
