David Parkes Awarded the Higher Rights of Advocacy (Civil) Qualification by the SRA

Baker Solicitors are pleased to announce Partner and Head of Family, David Parkes, has been awarded the Higher Rights of Advocacy (civil) qualification by the SRA.

Obtaining this qualification involves demonstrating strong advocacy skills and detailed knowledge of the rules of civil/family procedures. David can appear as an advocate in all civil/family cases before the highest courts, including the Court of Appeal, Supreme Court and High Court, without the need to instruct a barrister. David already undertakes most of his own advocacy and has appeared in reported cases before the High Court. Obtaining the SRA Higher Rights of Audience qualification confirms David’s ability to represent clients in the most complex of situations.
