Join BriefNet

BriefNet is a technology service built for moments when solicitors need to find a barrister more efficiently—such as a returned brief, a diary clash, a hearing listed at short notice, or a new area of work.

How it works

• Post the headline details of your instruction.
• Vetted chambers tender available counsel, allowing you to compare options and select with confidence.

BriefNet reduces the time spent waiting for replies from chambers, eliminates the frustration of making multiple calls, and avoids sending repeated requests to find available counsel. It also provides greater choice by allowing you to post to multiple chambers and make an informed decision.

Benefits for Solicitors

• Place briefs more efficiently.
• Grow your pool of counsel with one request generating multiple tenders.
• Full control over selection with zero cost.

Benefits for Clerks

• Reduce diary gaps by tendering available counsel in a few clicks.
• Widen your network of firms and compete for more work.
• Develop new streams of work and relationships with solicitors.
• Zero cost to use the platform.

Coverage

BriefNet covers all areas of criminal, civil, family, and tribunal work across England and Wales. The service is free for both solicitors and chambers.
