The regulator of the Bar in England in Wales has announced that it will be working with Bevan Brittan LLP to progress its plans for regulating legal businesses.
This follows a formal tendering exercise, where the standard of competition was extremely high.
The initial contract will run from now until mid-September, with the ability to commission additional work as and when required.
It is anticipated that the Bar Standards Board will publish its public consultation on its proposed frameworks for litigation and business regulation in October this year and issue a new Code of Conduct in 2012.
