SLCC welcomes publication of reform consultation analysis

Commenting on the publication of the consultation analysis: Legal services regulation reform in Scotland, SLCC CEO, Neil Stevenson said,

“It’s vital that all voices in this debate are heard, so this analysis is welcome. It shows that views continue to be polarised. Legal services users, consumer groups, and a number of organisations working in the sector have highlighted the clear and pressing need for reform to improve legal services regulation. However, many voices within the legal profession continue to believe there is no need for change.

“Since 2016 the SLCC has been setting out a bold vision for the future of legal services regulation. We continue to believe that the current regulatory and complaints framework is in need of fundamental reform to create an agile, future-proof, responsive and proportionate model of regulation. We stand ready to work with government and stakeholders across the sector to make that reform a reality.”
