INSTRUCTING US
How to Instruct Us
There is no set form for instructing us. Instructions come by phone, e-mail, letter or in a more formal document entitled ‘Instructions to Counsel’. All that matters is that you tell us what sort of advice you require, and if we are in any doubt we will phone for further clarification. You will be required to complete the following money laundering letter (click here)
Who Can Instruct Us
Members of Chambers take instructions from Solicitors, Accountants, Taxation Advisors and other organisations and individuals approved under the Bar Council’s “Licensed Access” scheme. Members are able to take instructions for non-advocacy services from clients outside England & Wales provided that the client either carries on a business or usually resides outside of England & Wales. If you are in any doubt about whether you can instruct us, please contact our Clerks for guidance.
Fees
The fees charged in any particular matter will obviously vary according to the weight and complexity of the issues raised and the seniority of the barrister instructed. On request, our Clerks will be happy to give you an advance indication of an hourly rate for a particular barrister.

Service Provision
Temple Tax Chambers has adopted policies on the provision of services to those with disabilities.
In particular Temple Tax Chambers is committed to making reasonable adjustments in the provision of services by Chambers and its Members. Users of Chambers who are disabled in any way are requested to make known to us their needs so that we may plan ahead and make reasonable adjustments.
Please note that access to Chambers is within a Victorian building by way of a stone staircase through common parts. Accordingly those with mobility problems visiting members of Chambers are invited to let us know so that the use of nearby meetings rooms with good disabled access can be arranged in advance. Although it is usual when consulting Counsel to visit Chambers where travelling presents problems Counsel can come to the premises of the professional client or lay client as the case may be. Again please let us know what your needs are and discuss with us what we can do to make reasonable adjustments.
Please help us to help you if you have problems with seeing or hearing or suffer from any other disabilities which could affect the provision of our services by discussing with us your needs so that reasonable adjustments can be made.
Temple Tax Chambers has adopted a complaints procedure details of which are to be found elsewhere on this web site. The procedure is designed to cover all types of complaint and so is appropriate to follow in case of any complaint relating to the provision of services and any other complaints of disability related discrimination.
