About BriefNet

What BriefNet is

BriefNet supports the existing solicitor - clerk relationship. Whether searching for last minute cover, or filling an unexpected gap in the diary, BriefNet facilitates the process.

What BriefNet is not

  • A law firm or a barristers' chambers.
  • A regulator. Professional duties remain with counsel and the instructing solicitor.
  • A replacement for existing chambers relationships — it supplements them.

How it works

  1. A solicitor publishes an instruction with basic key information taking no time at all.
  2. Vetted chambers see the brief and tender counsel.
  3. The solicitor compares tenders and selects.
  4. Carry on as normal, BriefNet simply makes the connection, more efficiently

Cost

BriefNet is free to use for both solicitors and chambers. There are no per-brief fees, per-tender fees or commissions.
