The BSB published on 27 September its third consultation on the implications for the Bar of the Legal Services Act 2007.

The BSB workshop will cover the changes in regulation brought about by the Legal Services Act 2007 and the new regulatory entities that affect the profession, including the Bar Standards Board, Legal Services Board and the Office of Legal Complaints.
