Barristers Fees To Be Cut 25% For Government Work |

Barristers face significant cuts in the fees they charge for Government work, as well as a more transparent pricing system, under a “radical and unique” tender process to reduce legal fees to the State.
The State Claims Agency plans to cut legal charges by up to 25% in the new system, which will set maximum fee limits for specific elements of work performed by barristers.

It follows a similar initiative two years ago for solicitors, which saw the agency cut fees by between 20 and 25%.
