If you win a competition you didn't enter - it's a scam.
I've never heard of any competition where you need to provide personal information to a solicitor.
If they are asking you to contact a barrister then even the terminology is wrong.
In the UK solicitors deal with legal matters in terms of contracts and other documentation. They also represent people in magistrates courts (minor offenses). Barristers are the guys in the wigs who represent people (or prosecute them) in criminal courts (the high court).
There is no reason at all why a barrister would be involved in a competition.
