Regulation of Legal Services (Scotland) Bill is a ‘significant step’ says SLCC

The SLCC has welcomed the Regulation of Legal Services (Scotland) Bill, which was laid in Parliament yesterday.

Neil Stevenson, Chief Executive said, “Since 2016 the SLCC has been calling for reform to modernise the legal complaints system to make it more person-centred and proportionate. These reforms are a significant step towards achieving that.

“We also believe there’s a real opportunity to build a culture of prevention, quality assurance and compliance in legal services regulation and that we can play an important part in achieving that aim.

“We look forward to working with others to support the Bill’s passage through Parliament and implementing its provisions.”
