The direct regulation of the legal profession in England and Wales is independent of Government. Regulators in the legal services sector, such as the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board, have strict rules on how individuals and firms should deliver their services. Individuals should approach the relevant regulator directly if they have any specific concerns, and further details can be found on their respective websites.
