For reasons I can’t go into here yet (sorry) I need a couple of opinions from a direct access barrister. Would love it to be a single barrister to attempt to keep costs down but it’s 2 diverse areas of law - Contract Law and Employment Law. Anyone know if such a person exists? A PM would be much appreciated. TIA

Very hard to offer assistance without a bit more background but difficult to understand why you'd want to go direct access. Why not just find a good employment solicitor (assuming the issue is principally an employment one) and take things from there? The employment lawyer's association would be a good place to start:https://www.elaweb.org.uk

Find a good employment barrister first. They should know enough about contract law.

BV once gave me Wright Hassall solicitors, they gave me excellent advice.

Still looking but thank you to everyone who has helped so far.

Wings - it needs to be a barrister level to counter another’s opinion.

I'd echo the Clerksroom suggestion.
