* APIL lawyers include both solicitors and barristers. It is the responsibility of your APIL solicitor to keep you informed about any costs and other developments associated with your case. These duties will not usually be carried out by your barrister.
All APIL lawyers are committed to this charter and abide by APIL's code of conduct. If you feel that you have not received the level or quality of service you would expect, then you should notify APIL.
