Deputy on Call

The Governing Board of the Bar Association has returned to the traditional figure of the Deputy on Call, in order to offer a direct service to members.

The Deputy on Call Service is available to any member 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Since its reimplantation, this service attends an average of three to five consultations a day, which confirms its necessity and usefulness for lawyers.
