The Legal Services Board invites Manchester Law Society members to attend their ‘Reshaping Legal Services in the North West of England’ event, taking place in Manchester on the 26th June from 4:00pm to 5:30pm.
Hosted by Fieldfisher, it will serve as an opportunity for colleagues across the legal services sector in the North West to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing the profession in the region.
The Legal Services Board is the oversight regulator for legal services in England and Wales. They oversee the performance of the sector’s regulators, including the Solicitors Regulation Authority, the Bar Standards Board, and CILEx Regulation. The Board regulates them in the public interest to promote an independent, strong, competitive, diverse, and effective legal profession.
Their Reshaping Legal Services strategy sets out their ambition to make sure regulation supports access to legal services for everyone who needs them, especially those individuals and businesses whose needs are too often unmet. The Legal Services Board are interested in exploring areas where regulation can have the greatest impact in addressing the challenges facing the sector. They would be particularly interested in your views and experiences in relation to:
- access to justice
- diversity and inclusion
- education, training and ongoing competence
- professional ethics and the rule of law
- technology and innovation
The Board hopes you’ll be able to join them for a wide-ranging discussion at this event with legal professionals, academics, advice agencies, and consumer groups from across the North West of England. Our very own President, Fiona Ledden, will also be there to share her thoughts on the main issues facing the legal profession.
Feel free to extend the invitation to colleagues and others who might be interested in attending.
If there are issues you would like to discuss or hear more about at the event, feel free to let them know in advance. You can contact them via the email below.
