BriefBar.
The barrister directory and brief marketplace.
Brief*Bar is a searchable barrister directory built on JADE’s appearances data — the record of who has appeared in which matters — giving solicitors and clerks a fast way to find the right counsel.
Barristers claim and manage their own profiles, so the directory stays accurate and current — and because it is built on JADE, a profile is never more than a click from the cases behind it.
