Barristers’ chambers face increasing regulatory expectations. From Bar Standards Board obligations and GDPR to EDI obligations, complaints handling and cyber risk. For many sets, compliance falls to senior clerks and chambers professionals already managing full workloads.
Briefed brings everything together in one structured solution, that adapts to your chambers, your size and your existing processes. You receive clear structure, practical tools and ongoing expert barrister support in one place. Flexible in both delivery and pricing, and tailored to what you need, when you need it.
Briefed was founded by Orlagh Kelly, a barrister who understands first-hand the growing compliance burden. Recognising that a more practical and cost-effective model did not exist, she built one. Today, 150 Chambers access compliance and risk support through Briefed.
