The Bar Council has established an arbitration and mediation service to resolve disputes arising between individual members of chambers or between a member or members of chambers and a senior clerk.
This service is only available to barristers who have paid the Member Services Fee to the Bar Council. Furthermore, all parties must be agreed to proceed via such an alternative dispute resolution mechanism.
A panel of barristers willing to act as arbitrators or mediators has been set up by the Representation and Policy Department of the Bar Council and approved by the Chairman of the Bar.
A panel of barristers' clerks willing to assist the chosen barrister as above and act as arbitrator/mediator has also been set up by the Institute of Barristers’ Clerks.
If a dispute arises which cannot be amicably resolved between the parties, you can arrange a mediation or arbitration by contacting Jess Campbell at the Bar Council. Jess can be reached either by email or telephone: 020 7611 1313.
The full prodedure for arranging a mediation or arbitration is avaialble here.
