About Us

We are a highly motivated set of individual barristers with a common purpose; providing excellent advocacy and advisory services to clients throughout Wales and beyond. Competitive, efficient, practical and professional, we recognise the centrality of the client in everything that we do.

We are constantly evolving and challenging ourselves to provide a better service to our clients. We strive to ensure that the recruitment of members and pupils upholds our reputation for providing exceptional barristers in a variety of areas and at all levels of seniority.  

Iscoed can draw on nearly 100 years of experience during which time former members have attained significant achievements; from the Attorney General, to appointments to the Court of Appeal, High Court and Circuit Bench. Today’s members take pride in the history of Chambers whilst aiming to enhance Iscoed’s reputation throughout the Welsh Circuit and beyond.

Fees

Where the client is not eligible for legal aid a fee can be agreed on an hourly rate or as a fixed fee. Factors that affect the level of fee include the level of expertise and experience of the barrister, the length of time involved in dealing with the case and the complexity of the case. 

Our barristers also accept instructions under conditional fee agreements (“no win, no fee” agreements) in certain circumstances. For information, please contact the clerks on 01792 652988 / clerks@iscoedchambers.co.uk.

Timescales

Timescales for a case may vary depending on factors such as barristers’ availability, the type and complexity of the case, the other side’s approach and court waiting times.

We have a dedicated and experienced clerking team which is supported by a highly efficient administrative team. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact them. The clerks will be happy to discuss your requirements.
