The Bar Standards Board (BSB) has launched a root-and-branch review of the future of the profession in the wake of the Legal Services Act. A consultation paper was published this week (6 February) on a series of overarching issues such as how the Bar will be regulated, how barristers will be able to form partnerships with non-barristers and whether a compensation fund will be needed. In particular, the consultation will address what changes to the rules need to be made in order to accommodate lawyers and non-lawyers combining legal services as part of an alternative business structure, or barristers and lawyers working together in legal disciplinary partnerships (LDPs).
