Briefing Counsel was a webinar co-hosted by Queensland Young Lawyers (QYL) and Level Twenty Seven Chambers. This was the second event in a series covering essential topics and skills junior lawyers should be on top of.
Junior barristers, Mei Ying-Barnes and Hannah Lilley, who practise from Level Twenty Seven Chambers shared tips on:
- How to find suitably skilled barristers for your matter
- What documents should be included in a brief
- Tips on ways to communicate with counsel during an ongoing matter
Mei and Hannah’s advice comes from the position of having briefed barristers in their previous roles as solicitors, as well as having received briefs as barristers from boutique, state, national and international law firms. The webinar aimed to help solicitors streamline the dispute resolution process by ensuring each lawyer in a team knows what is required of them and avoiding work duplications.
The video and podcast recordings, as well as the transcript from the webinar are available here.
