Barristers are specialist in advocacy. Until recently they had a monopoly in higher court appearance rights. This has changed and some solicitors are now qualified with such rights, however barristers are still widely used for representation in court because of the greater expertise they develop in advocacy. Barristers will also be called upon by a solicitor (barristers do not interact directly with a client) for written opinions and advice on complex legal interpretations. In some areas of law such as Chancery, barristers will perform this out of court written work more whereas as in criminal and family law a barrister is likely to spend more time arguing in court
Solicitors will prepare the legal documents required for the barrister's brief as well as dealing directly with the client. They will also perform non-contentious legal work, eg. preparing wills, conveyancing, etc.
