The Standard Terms apply to all instructions and briefs accepted from solicitors and other authorised person from 31 January 2013, both in respect of new matters and new instructions in matters in which the barrister has previously been instructed.
In an appropriate case, the barrister may be willing to act on alternative contractual terms, such as the COMBAR or CLLS terms.
