The Bar Council represents barristers in England and Wales and promotes their specialist advocacy and advisory services. The Bar Council is also the Approved Regulator of the Bar of England and Wales, although we discharge our regulatory functions through the independent Bar Standards Board.

The Bar Council promotes:

          The Bar's high quality specialist advocacy and advisory services

          Fair access to justice for all

          The highest standards of ethics, equality and diversity across the profession, and

          The development of business opportunities for barristers at home and abroad.

The Bar Council endorses the interests of the Bar to the Government, parliamentarians, the media and other stakeholders, both domestically and internationally, and in the public interest. Our executive works in partnership with the many members of the Bar who give up their time to serve on the elected Bar Council and on committees covering issues as wide-ranging as social mobility, remuneration, international work and law reform.

We are committed to upholding the highest standards of ethics, equality and diversity across the profession, as well as ensuring that the Bar can attract and retain the brightest and the best, irrespective of background. We also provide a wide range of services to our members, including online advice, training courses and practical guidance.
