ProcureCos

ProcureCos are commercial vehicles that can be grafted on to barrister’s chambers enabling them to contract for work directly with public bodies and corporations. The introduction of a system of one case, one fee in legal aid work will enable barristers to be in control of fees, and refer work to solicitors, which Jonathan Djanogly, the Justice Minister, said would give the bar the ‘whip hand’. He said the government was moving away from an antiquated system of dividing lines between solicitors and barristers to a system that would offer a fairer balance between the two sides of the profession.
