Law Society: proposals would give it enforcement powers over licensed organisationsThe Law Society’s Commerce & Industry (C&I) Group has called for a new licensing system to be set up to allow companies to offer legal advice to clients.

The group made the call earlier this month in its submission to the Lord Chancellor’s Department’s (LCD’s) consultation document In the Public Interest?, which was launched this summer in response to the Office of Fair Trading’s (OFT’s) report into competition in the professions.
