Defamation Law

Before Section 101 of the Legal Services Regulation Act was commenced in September 2024, barristers were only able to undertake work on the instructions of a solicitor. Now barristers can accept instructions from the public directly. This means that if you need legal advice in relation to defamation, you can instruct an specialist defamation law barrister directly without the need to go to a solicitor in the first place.

Barristers Direct will help you find a barrister who is experienced in dealing with your specific type of case. Our barristers have extensive experience in conducting defamation litigation in the Circuit Court and the High Court. Our barristers regularly represent individuals, newspapers, national broadcasters, and other media platforms.

Barristers Direct works with Senior Counsel and Junior Counsel all across Ireland. Based on your specific case, we can help you select a barrister who meets your needs.

For a fixed fee of €395 plus VAT, one of our barristers will meet with you and provide you with expert advice and how best to proceed. Your barrister will not charge any further fee in respect of this consultation.
