Good to see The Law Society catch up to what solicitors have been saying for the last few years.

Having the same legal services subject to different rules from different regulators is ridiculous. A single regulator that ensures that solicitors, barristers, legal executives, licensed conveyancers, and even God help me now accountants, all have to play by the same rules is the only way to liberalise the legal market while maintaining fair competition between them and safeguarding professional standards.
