Legal profession upsetting Bertha (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

the bar

'legal profession' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'upsetting bertha' is the wordplay.
'upsetting' indicates an anagram.
'bertha' anagrammed gives 'THE BAR'.

(Other definitions for the bar that I've seen before include "Barristers collectively" , "Legal advocates are called to it" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
