THE STANDARD CONTRACTUAL TERMS FOR THE SUPPLY OF LEGAL
SERVICES BY BARRISTERS TO AUTHORISED PERSONS 2020
as referred to in Rule rC30.9c of the BSB Handbook

The Terms were first published in 2012. In 2018, clauses 6 and 7 were updated to take account of the General Data Protection Regulation. In 2020, clause 4.3 was updated to refer to the Money Laundering Regulations 2017.
