INDEPENDENCE BID

The Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx) will seek to give its regulatory body complete structural independence, the organisation has announced. CILEx, the approved frontline regulator for chartered legal executives, said its initial goal was to achieve as much independence for CILEx Regulation, its arms-length regulator, as possible under the current rules. It would then lobby for the necessary changes to the Legal Services Act 2007, which has set up the current regulatory framework for all legal regulators, to secure formal independence in law. 29 January 2019
