Barristers who fail to complete the renewal process by 30 April will no longer appear on the BSB Barrister’ Register and will not be authorised to practise.
It is a criminal offence under the Legal Services Act 2007 to carry on any reserved legal activities without a practising certificate which authorises you to do so.
From 1 May, any barrister believed to be practising without a practising certificate will be reported to the BSB, who will take such action as is considered appropriate.
