One in two commercial partners has a negative view of the Law Society while a clear majority feel Chancery Lane is of little or no relevance to City law firms.

These are the key findings of Legal Week‘s latest Big Question survey, which found that 48% had a negative view of the work of the Law Society, including 23% that viewed its work as ‘poor’. A further 30% said the body was ‘OK’, while 22% viewed its efforts as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’.
