LEGAL EXECUTIVES

The Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx) said government must end current EU restrictions that prevent chartered legal executives from providing services internationally. It said after 31 December, any future bilateral agreements on the recognition of professional qualifications overseas must 'cut the red tape'. CILEx chair Chris Bones said: 'For too long chartered legal executives have been unreasonably restricted from providing legal services internationally. This has prevented solicitor firms, the largest employers of Chartered Legal Executives, from deploying their staff efficiently.' 23 October 2020
