Clerks
Barristers engage a Barristers’ Clerk, who in turn advise solicitors as to the suitability, availability and fees of counsel.
This webpage only contains the contact details of those barristers who are members of the Victorian Bar Association with current Victorian or Interstate practising certificates, and who have agreed to their details being made available. For more information read our disclaimer here.
If you need assistance finding the right barrister, we suggest you contact one of the barrister's clerks who will discuss your needs with you and recommend an appropriate barrister.
A clerk will also be able to advise you on the availability of the barristers on their list.
