Great that @LSB_EngandWal is taking an interest in this area which I hope will drive change.
Next year we will convene a cross-sector debate on professional ethics, the rule of law, and regulation. Ahead of that, one of our regulatory policy managers, Sally Al-Saleem, has written a blog exploring these themes. reshapinglegalservices.org.u… #legalethics #ruleoflaw

@HazelGenn: "I've spent over five years campaigning for increased connections between health services and access to free #legal advice. Having a legal problem you cannot resolve can cause stress and can exacerbate existing health conditions." #RacialJustice22

🤞🏻I was privileged to serve on @MoJGovUK Bellamy review of criminal legal aid: system desperately needs better funding. But @IRLSR recommendations could help address some challenges of civil legal aid (eg scope & cost) as well as support rule of law & #A2J

Regulation of legal services in England & Wales needs to be reformed to address an ever-increasing level of unmet legal need, which is the sector's greatest challenge, argues a new report by Professor @StephenMayson @UCLLaws ucl.ac.uk/news/2022/apr/bett…

V Helpful o/view by @CrispinPassmore re progress since LSA07; he backs one regulator as per @IRLSR @StephenMayson and “choice”; I would have liked more analysis re in-house, rule of law, ethics/ESG; but I accept that changes will be small changes over time. #SmallChangeInHouse

Whilst discussing S 4.12 of @IRLSR with a lawyer recently they suggested that GCs of listed companies might report to the Board and not to their CEO in order to ensure independence. That would a good start, methinks. What do you think @sra_solicitors?
Independent Review of Legal Services Regulation retweeted
4.12 of @IRLSR brings welcome focus to the role of in-house legal in business for the benefit of society, proposing increased support and guidance for those in that pressured environment. A great opportunity also to share best practice on navigating employer-client independence.
Good question. Not sure that the @lawtech_uk Panel fully appreciated that @IRLSR final report advocated greater regulatory support for in-house lawyers and law depts and was not critical of them @richardsusskind @thatginamiller @ABAPresident

My Q: S4.12 of @IRLSR was critical of current regs of law depts & risks to society. Does the Panel feel COVID-19 will accelerate changes in regs. 'cos orgs, many of whom took COVID financing, will wish to improve behaviour & more independent IHLs will help ESG decision-making?
2nd discussion I'm chairing for @lawtech_uk (14 July, 13.00-14.00 BST) is 'Legal Services after Covid-19: self interest or public interest?' With Gina Miller (@thatginamiller), Rosemary Martin, @ABAPresident & Jeroen Ouwehand (@Clifford_Chance). Register: technation.io/legal-services…

Final report of @IRLSR recommends that mediation should be brought within future scope of regulation. Any current recourse through @civil_mediation council?
The Legal Ombudsman has decided not to investigate misconduct by a Senior Solicitor acting as a mediator. Stating out of Jurisdiction. Only recourse Judicial Review at great cost to me. Unacceptable face of regulation there are no consumer rights.
