Fanfic research question, again

(Anonymous) 2026-03-25 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
For anyone who knows about the London, England legal system.
I get that the English legal system is in two parts, one type of lawyer represents you to the cops and another type in court. Solicitors and Barristers.

My question is could a pair of brothers set themselves up as a legal firm, with the younger being a criminal solicitor and the elder being a criminal barrister, and just pass cases between themselves? Or is that a conflict of interest?

Anybody here know anything about it?

From what I'm reading, it is technically legal but would be a huge conflict of interest that would likely cause censure by the court and the possible dismissal of cases. Also, most legal firms would not be a prosecuting and defending branch unless they were huge.

They technically could, but I don't really get why they would. Technically, all barristers are solo practitioners (even if they share chambers with other barristers) and solicitors can be solo, in partnerships, own or work for a firm.
