    +### Statement given in accordance with Rule c144 of the Bar Standards Board Code of Conduct
     
    Under the Legal Services Act 2007, legal services, other than those which are reserved legal activities, are not subject to any special statutory regulation. This statement is to explain our status in providing our clients with legal services.
    ⋯
    Although the following consultants are qualified as barristers, they are not entitled to practise as barristers. They do not have practising certificates and are not on the register of practising barristers:

    +> [*Darragh O'Sullivan, Esq. (call Lincoln's Inn, 2009)*](https://www.linkedin.com/in/darraghos/)
     
    In providing any legal services to our clients, they are not acting as a barrister and are not subject to many of the rules which regulate practising barristers.
    ⋯
    This limits the scope of the service that can be provided to our clients. We can provide them with legal advice and represent them before certain tribunals, but we cannot represent them in Court. Where our clients' requirements give rise to a need to perform reserved legal activities, we instruct suitably-qualified solicitors and barristers to do so, supervising their conduct and acting as client representative in order to protect those clients' interests.
     
    −The Legal Ombudsman can adjudicate on complaints about poor service by practising barristers and cannot consider a complaint against us. A complaint about our payment services is a different matter and may be referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our Complaints and the Financial Ombudsman Service notice explains how.
    +The Legal Ombudsman, which can adjudicate on complaints about poor service by practising barristers, cannot consider any complaint against us.
     
    It is, however, possible to complain to the Bar Standards Board and it will investigate whether we have failed to comply with any of the rules which apply to us, but it cannot investigate possible breaches of rules which apply only to practising barristers.

  2. v1.1current

    effective 15 Nov 2012

    Cross-reference repair, step 5, and the two citation fixes settled on 6 Oct. Adds the signpost distinguishing the Legal Ombudsman from the Financial Ombudsman Service, which this notice and the complaints notice each stated correctly for their own service with nothing connecting them. Corrects the citation to rule rC144 of the Bar Standards Board Handbook. Removes the LinkedIn link, because a regulatory status statement should not rest on a third-party profile page; the sentence stands without it. The italics on the statutory list are left as they are.
