How much should the Bar Standards Board (BSB) charge for authorising entities—organisations providing advocacy, litigation or expert legal advice that are owned and managed by barristers but employ non-barristers? £600? £4,250? The BSB, which hopes to become a regulator of entities in January, has launched an open consultation paper on the matter, available on the BSB website. Barristers are invited to get in touch via entityregulation@barstandardsboard.org.uk by 10 October 2014.
