The long-awaited revolution of the legal profession began in earnest today (13 November) with the Government kicking off the hunt to recruit the first-ever chair of the new Legal Services Board (LSB).

The part-time role will carry a salary of £63,000 per year for an estimated 70 days’ work a year, with an additional remuneration bonus of £13,500 in the first year to cover extra responsibilities associated with the launch of the new body.
