Review of the Regulatory Framework for Legal Services inEngland and Wales

This response to the consultation is made by the City of Westminster and Holborn Law Society. In our area, firms are of all sizes and cover a wide variety of legal services. They probably handle more professional negligence and discipline cases than anywhere else in the country. Many of our members have experience of acting as disciplinary tribunal advocates, and of working in the field of international law. Our approach to this consultation is that the independence and integrity of the legal profession are fundamental to the interests of the consumer."
