Clerksroom is a new clerking service set up by two barristers, Harry Hodgkin and Jonathan Dingle and a senior clerk, Stephen Ward. The service uses the leading chambers software from Meridian and provides diary control, case information, billing, fee collection, aged debt, VAT and tax. Barristers wishing to be included in the site can apply online. There is no charge to be included. The Kennedy Guide to Barristers is a new directory of barristers where solicitors can search for particular specialisms and where there are, in addition, endorsements from solicitors.
Barristers can update their own entries on the site.
It's still rather new - not many barristers on the site yet but there are some special rates for early joiners. More information from Andrea Kennedy . The Virtual Clerk is a new clerking service set up by Jan Wood, an experienced clerk working in Exeter. The service uses ACE software and provides fee notes, accounting work and normal clerking services by email, fax and phone.
