Members of the Bar can enjoy many exclusive benefits provided by Member Services, an entirely self-funding department of the Bar Council which helps to offset the cost of representing the Bar through commercial activity.
Member Services are committed to negotiating tailored goods and services for the Bar, often at preferential prices unavailable to the general public. Our Service Partners offer high quality services at best-value prices through high standards of customer care. Service Partners are selected on the basis of excellent service, an understanding of the Bar’s needs and a commitment to providing tailored services, often with substantial exclusive discounts. Wherever you see this logo, you can be assured that the organisation has signed up to this commitment. http://www.barcouncil.org.uk/for-the-bar/explore-member-benefits/
Over 500 benefits are just one click away.
A new and vastly expanded range of substantial exclusive discounts has now been launched at www.barcouncil.xexec.com. From January 2011, only those members of the Bar who pay the voluntary Members' Services Fee (MSF) will have access to this service.
