Instruct Counsel is the market leader for the provision of Advocacy services in Scotland. If a solicitor needs to instruct Counsel, IC can take care of all that solicitor’s requirements in a commercial and straightforward manner. This releases time to earn fees. As there are no additional charges for using IC it’s a win-win for solicitors.

IC don’t talk about “a client focussed” or “a professional approach” as plus points. IC can always say what they do, when they will do it and how much it will cost. This means certainty rather than rhetoric. What’s more they deliver. IC only assists Scottish solicitors. They don’t accept instructions directly from your clients. We help you win rather than competing against you.

IC promises to

• Identify a suitable experienced Counsel to undertake your work
• Return all written work within 5 working days, in a standardised, client friendly format
• Only charge for work actually carried out – No Cancellation Fees
• Be transparent and consistent when billing – No more surprises
• Remove the admin burden and uncertainty often associated with instructing an Advocate
• Help you deliver a quality service to your clients, without the threat of IC stealing them
  

Since launching in May 2007, IC has kept those promises.

IC organises all types of civil litigation – not just personal injury. They can organise Counsel for you pre-litigation, in the Court of Session and in Sheriff Courts throughout Scotland. No need to ask, they can always assist. Instructions can be sent by DX, post, email or via the website.

Gordon Stead worked as a litigation solicitor for over 10 years. He understands the problems you face on a daily basis. He would be delighted to meet you, wherever you are in Scotland, to discuss how IC can help.
