This Practice Note includes several factors which ought to be taken into account prior to briefing counsel for trial. Each brief to counsel will be slightly different depending on the nature of the case and its factual background.

When to brief counsel If you have any doubts about whether you will have the time to prepare the case adequately for trial, or whether you are competent to present it at trial or have the appropriate rights of audience, you should brief counsel to undertake the advocacy at trial. In cases which are particularly complex, briefing counsel can provide the requisite expertise which are necessary for that particular case and/or issue. If the case deals with a specific area of law, briefing counsel will be beneficial to the client as they will have acquired specialist skills which will increase the likelihood of a positive outcome for you
