The Bar Standards Board regulates barristers and specialized legal services firms in England and Wales, acting to safeguard the public interest. Based in London, it operates as a regulator within the public-policy sphere of the legal profession. It maintains confidential channels for reporting concerns about barristers and for waivers or authorisations, and it does not respond to inquiries sent via social media. Its primary constituency comprises the barristers and specialized legal services providers it oversees, serving as a governance and standards body within the English and Welsh legal ecosystem. In May 2026, the board announced appointments of independent reviewers Helena Suffield-Thompson and Suzi Denton.
