Plans by the Law Society of England and Wales to relax its conflict of interest rules have run into stiff opposition from several influential bodies including the in-house lawyers’ Commerce & Industry (C&I) Group and the Legal Services Ombudsman.
Opposition is highlighted in responses to the most recent consultation on the new proposals. The new rules are based on a liberal conflicts model that was drawn up by a City of London Law Society (CLLS) working party in 2000.
