Confidential. By referral or direct enquiry.
One conversation, occasionally a small number more. Reserved for situations that do not fit a written brief and would not be improved by one.
Private Counsel is held in strict confidence. The terms are set out openly so that what is offered, and what is not, is clear before anyone is asked to apply.
Conversations begin by referral or, occasionally, by direct enquiry of a serious kind. A short note describing the situation is preferred to a form.
Everything said is treated as privileged. No names, no anecdotes, no recycled material. Each engagement is its own closed file.
The practice accepts a small number of private engagements each quarter. The cadence is deliberate, not artificial scarcity.
If a situation would be better served by counsel, a coach, a lawyer, or a clinician, that will be said plainly, and a serious introduction made where appropriate.
A short note is enough to begin. Every enquiry receives a personal reply, usually within three working days.
