Episode 148, The Fifth Court

Peter Shanley SC on Barristers Direct, legal access and barristers becoming entrepreneurs


Peter Leonard BL and Mark Tottenham BL are joined by Peter Shanley SC, founder of Barristers Direct.

Peter explains how changes under the Legal Services Regulation Act opened the door to direct access to barristers in non-contentious matters, why Barristers Direct was created, and how the service works for individuals, companies, in-house counsel and solicitors.

He also talks family legal dynasty, rugby, the late Peter Shanley, direct access, AI note-taking, probate, employment law, defamation, and why solicitors may actually benefit from the service.


The Decisis.ie case-law section, sponsored by Charlton Solicitors & Collaborative Practitioners of George’s Street, Dún Laoghaire, covers:

A suspended trade union member allowed to contest an Executive Council election

A Hague Convention child-return case involving Ireland and Poland

Citizenship refusals based on historic criminal convictions
