Briefing 2.0: Maximising the solicitor-barrister relationship

A joint event between the Young Bar Committee of the Bar of Ireland and The Law Society of Ireland’s Younger Members Committee, the goal of this seminar is to provide an update and shared perspectives of briefing practices and techniques. The event will allow solicitors in the earlier part of their career to hear from barristers as to what makes a good quality brief. The event will also allow barristers from years 1 – 7 at the Bar to hear from solicitors as to what solicitors expect from barristers in responding to a brief.
