Bar Standards Board Description

The Bar Standards Board regulates barristers and specialised legal services businesses in England and Wales in the public interest.

We are responsible for:

• Establishing the education and training requirements for becoming a barrister;
• Drawing up continuing training requirements to ensure that barristers’ skills are maintained throughout their careers;
• Setting standards of conduct for barristers;
• Authorising barristers to practise, as well as organisations that focus on advocacy, litigation, and specialist legal advice;
• Monitoring the service provided by barristers and entities to assure quality; and
• Handling complaints against barristers and legal services businesses that we regulate and taking disciplinary or other action where appropriate.
