David Tipping accepts instructions from professional clients as well as directly from members of the public under the direct access scheme. David charges for work on the basis of a fixed fee or hourly rate. Professional and Direct Access clients can obtain a quotation for legal service from one of our Practice Managers (chambers@fieldtax.com). Additional contact details can be found on the Contact page.
The Practice Managers are also able to provide an indication of how long a particular piece of work is likely to take. David will always endeavour to meet a client’s timescale, but this will naturally depend on the amount of work involved and existing commitments (in particular if he is involved in court proceedings). David or the Practice Managers will be able to advise of any likely problem in meeting a deadline.
David always aims to provide the best possible service. However, if at any point you become unhappy or concerned about his (or Chambers) services, you should inform us as soon as possible. Details of our complaints procedure, together with details about making complaints to the Legal Ombudsman, can be found here.
David is regulated by the Bar Standards Board. The Barrister’s Register on the BSB’s website can be found here.
