I don’t think you can amymore, could be wrong tho, but I know a lad who was done for a wildlife crime not too long ago an he wanted to get Clive to represent him, an couldn’t, as he was too far away or summat, so lad got a local brief an then Clive sort a helped him through the case I’ll sure, again I could be wrong. Years ago tho I used briefs and qc from far away with no problem
