The Law Society and the Bar Council have conceded that they face having to separate their regulatory and representative roles under Sir David Clementi’s increasingly radical review of legal services regulation.
Speaking in the wake of Monday’s (10 March’s) publication of Clementi’s three proposed models for policing legal services, the two bodies conceded they now look almost certain to face wholesale reform of their role. Law Society chief executive Janet Paraskeva commented: “We know that the status quo is not an option.”
