Putting the Consumer First - The Future of Legal Services
Posted by Dennis M. Kennedy
Between Layers
The UK Department for Constitutiional Affairs recently published a white paper ‘The Future of Legal Services: Putting the Consumer First’, setting out proposals for the regulatory reform of legal services in England and Wales. Download it here.
The recommendations date back to Sir David Clementi's efforts to:
* consider what regulatory framework would best promote competition, innovation and the public and consumer interest in an efficient, effective and independent legal sector.
* recommend a framework which will be independent in representing the public and consumer interest, comprehensive, accountable, consistent, flexible, transparent, and no more restrictive or burdensome than is clearly justified.
Your assignment: Compare and contrast these efforts in the UK to recent efforts in the US to implement increasingly onerous, state-based regulation.
