BARRISTERS in England and Wales are preparing themselves for major changes in the ways they provide legal services, says Bar Chairman Nicholas Green QC.

Addressing the first meeting of the 2010 Bar Council, Mr Green said that barristers are ‘gearing up for a revolution in the way they provide their services’.

His remarks came as the Bar Council ran a series of nationwide road shows following the historic decision of the Bar Standards Board (BSB) in November 2009 to liberalise the Bar’s practice rules in the light of the Legal Services Act 2007.
