A Guide to Unbundling - A Best Practice Guide

Introduction

Unbundling as a service has developed since 2015 into an area that more clients are seeking help in. Now that clients can instruct barristers directly, it is becoming increasingly more common for clients to seek advice and support in piecemeal sections of their case, rather than being represented throughout.

This virtual classroom seminar helps you understand the best way to approach unbundling as a service for clients, ensuring you avoid the risks of not having full involvement in a case and the pitfalls that can introduce as well as making the service as profitable and effective as possible. The guidance from the SRA and Law Society will be considered, together with considering how you should best structure this service to protect staff and help clients.
