Solicitors, responding to the needs of clients with business interests to develop in Wales or those providing public services, must develop different and flexible ways of working to meet their clients’ needs within the new regime of devolution to be established following the Assembly elections on 3 May and when the provisions of the Government of Wales Act (GOWA) 2006 will commence.
The expectation is that a separate body of Welsh law will gradually emerge in a series of 20 devolved fields such as economic development, education, environment, health, highway, housing and planning. This will expedite a divergence in Welsh law which had already been put in train by the first devolution settlement, with the initial grant to the National Assembly of Wales of its own powers to make secondary legislation.
