Birmingham-based Direct Access Barrister
Welcome
Looking for a Direct Access Barrister?
Jamie Johnston is a Direct Access barrister in Birmingham working across the Midlands and nationally. He specialises in property and commercial disputes, and also has expertise in sports law.
If you have a small claim, County Court or High Court case in Birmingham, Nottingham, Leicester or anywhere else across the Midlands then read on. If you have a legal problem and want clear, honest, expert advice then ask me.
Before becoming a barrister I built and sold a national franchising company. I know time is precious and that clear, pragmatic advice without complicated legal terms is essential. I have helped hundreds of individuals and businesses with claims ranging from a few hundred pounds to hundreds of thousands. Every case is important to the client and I treat all clients with empathy and honest advice.
What type of cases do you do?
Boundary disputes and other neighbour disputes
Arguments over boundary fences & walls, anti-social neighbours, trespass on your land, harassment and other neighbour disputes.
Rights of Way, easements and covenants of land
Problems with property access or provision of utilities and services. Restrictive covenants that affect the use of land by you or your neighbours. Any other problem related to your title deeds or use of your land.
Contract disputes, both between businesses and individuals
Use a direct access barrister to help with any business dispute or any company that has treated you badly. If a business has not delivered on their contract then seek legal redress.
Sports Law
I represent athletes and sports clubs in disciplinary and regulatory hearings. I sit as an arbitrator for UK Athletics and British Cycling for disciplinary hearings. More information is available here.
Claims for negligent professional advice
Claims against conveyancers, architects, financial advisors or solicitors for bad advice that has caused you loss.
What is a Direct Access or Public Access barrister?
Direct Access, also known as Public Access barristers, are barristers qualified to work directly for clients without a solicitor. Using a Direct Access barrister can be cheaper and more efficient than going through a solicitor. It gives you a direct line to expert advice for your case and to the person who will represent you in court. By using a Public access barrister you can also pick and choose what work you want help with, which can reduce costs. For more information on how Direct Access works click here.
What help can you provide?
As a barrister I specialise in representing people in court, providing expert advice and writing documents. I can assist at all stages of the legal process from providing advice and guidance about whether to start a claim all the way through to arguing your case at trial. You can use me for as much or as little of your case as you want. For a full explanation of the services I offer and some of the limitations on using a barrister through Direct Access, please explore this website or contact me.
