- It shows your numbers up front, where a hiring manager or client sees them first.
- It shows a short, human introduction in your own voice.
- It shows the skills and tools people search for.
- It shows your best work as case studies, each with the result it got.
- It shows what you offer and what it costs, so the right people get in touch.

Barrister portfolio questions
- What should a barrister portfolio include?
- Lead with what you do and who it’s for, then your services (for example advice on merits, hearing and direct access), your credentials (Bar Professional Training Course and Called to the Bar), key skills such as Advocacy, Employment tribunals, Commercial disputes and Advice on merits, reviews from people you’ve worked with, and one clear way to contact you, like WhatsApp or a booking link.
- Do barristers need a personal website?
- It helps. A website is the one link you can share everywhere, it shows up when people search your name, and it says more than a CV or a social profile: what you offer, what it costs and why people trust you. Kitefolio makes one in minutes, written for barristers.
- Is a barrister portfolio website free?
- Yes. Every design is free, and your website stays online at a free Kitefolio address. Pro puts it on your own domain for AED 35 a month, or AED 299 a year with the first year’s domain free (up to AED 60).
- Can I edit it without coding?
- Yes. Click any text or photo to change it, pick colours and fonts, and publish. The sample content for barristers gets you most of the way; you replace it with your own.
- Why use Counsel for a barrister portfolio?
- Counsel shows your numbers up front, where a hiring manager or client sees them first, a short, human introduction in your own voice and the skills and tools people search for. It opens with sample content written for barristers, so you replace words rather than start from a blank page.
Developer? The Counsel code is free to download from its gallery page. More about the design is there too.
