Direct Access

Instruct Seema Through Public Access

Clients may be able to instruct Seema Kansal directly through the Public Access (Direct Access) scheme, without first going through a solicitor. This route offers direct communication with the barrister who will advise you and, if required, represent you in court.

Public Access can provide greater cost transparency and control over the process. Eligibility is assessed before instructions are accepted. Not every case is suitable — some require the extensive evidence-gathering or ongoing case management that a solicitor provides. Where Public Access is appropriate, you will receive a clear written quotation and a letter of engagement setting out the scope of work.

If you are considering instructing Seema directly, mention this in your enquiry so the clerks can guide you through the suitability assessment.
