Shortly finding barrister after case of intimidation (2,5)
I believe the answer is:
in brief
'shortly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'barrister after case of intimidation' is the wordplay.
'barrister' becomes 'brief' (I've seen this before).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'case of' suggests removing the centre (outsides of).
'intimidation' with its centre removed is 'in'.
'brief' after 'in' is 'IN BRIEF'.
'finding' is the link.
(Other definitions for in brief that I've seen before include "To cut a long story short" , "Summing it all up, with just a few words" , "Where the solicitor should look for advice" , "To summarise or put succinctly" , "quickly" .)
