The moaning and groaning will not stop the sea of change affecting the legal services sector, nor will it stop the rewrite of the LSA and inevitable introduction of more Approved Regulators able to authorise its membership to conduct litigation and perform reserved activities. So Solicitors, and those that regulate them, have a choice, either make becoming a solicitor a desirable less expensive process, without over regulation and without subjecting applicants to costly examination at every possible opportunity, without insisting that after the student jumps through all the hoops and pass all the examinations they still have to undertake a two year TC, or simply loose out to the opposition, who will provide the same legal services in direct competition. There is already an erosion of the solicitor’s status in the provision of legal services, and that’s not likely to be reversed. Either the LS and SRA adapt to change in the hope of staying relevant, or they will lose their position at the table, it really is that simple.
