Reshaping Legal Services in the South East of England – Legal Services Board with the University of Southampton
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to attend the Legal Services Board’s ‘Reshaping Legal Services in the South East of England’ event on 3 December from 4pm to 5.30pm.
Hosted by the University of Southampton, it will serve as an opportunity for colleagues across the legal services sector in the South East to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing the profession in the region.
The Legal Services Board is the oversight regulator for legal services in England and Wales. We oversee the performance of the sector’s regulators, including the Solicitors Regulation Authority, the Bar Standards Board, and CILEx Regulation. We regulate them in the public interest to promote an independent, strong, competitive, diverse, and effective legal profession.
Our Reshaping Legal Services strategy sets out our ambition to make sure regulation supports access to legal services for everyone who needs them, especially those individuals and businesses whose needs are too often unmet. We are interested in exploring areas where regulation can have the greatest impact in addressing the challenges facing the sector. We would be particularly interested in your views and experiences in relation to:
- access to justice
- consumer protection
- diversity and inclusion
- education, training and ongoing competence
- professional ethics and the rule of law
- Technology and innovation
We hope you’ll be able to join us for a wide-ranging discussion at this event with legal professionals, academics, advice agencies, and consumer groups from across the South East of England. Feel free to extend the invitation to colleagues and others who might be interested in attending.
If there are issues you would like to discuss or hear more about at the event, feel free to let us know in advance.
This in-person event is taking place at the University of Southampton.
If you can attend, please RSVP to events@legalservicesboard.org.uk.
