Incorporation of barristers' practices

14/08/2013

A few weeks ago, before the General Meeting to be held on 17 September was requisitioned, the Bar Council commissioned advice from three senior counsel on matters relevant to its then continuing discussion about the pros and cons of barristers’ being able to incorporate their practice. The advices will be forwarded to all members of the Bar as soon as all are available hopefully early next week. I urge you to read the advices before making up your mind as to whether you believe the Bar Council should ask the Government to agree to the Barristers’ Rules and Legal Profession Act 2004 or the forthcoming national profession legislation being amended to permit barristers to incorporate their practice. Phillip Boulten SC President 14 August 2013
