Ans:    Solicitors are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority
           (SRA) and provide clients with expert legal advice and assistance.
           They have direct contact with the clients and provide legal
           expertise in their specialized areas such as criminal, civil and
           commercial law.

           Barristers are specialist legal advisers and courtroom advocates
           regulated by the Bar Council of UK. They are independent and
           objective, and trained to advise clients on the strengths as well as
           the weaknesses of his/her case. They have specialist knowledge
           and experience. Currently, barristers’ professional rules prevent
           them from receiving instructions from lay clients therefore the
           usual route to instructing a barrister is through a solicitor.
