The Law Society must promote at this time the criticality of a flourishing legal services sector in our “United Kingdom”, especially when the Prime Minister stressed the importance of the Rule of Law following the tragedy of the Westminster attack.

Lawyers now have a real political opportunity to promote the benefits of a vibrant legal services sector, in terms of how the sector can support the establishment of future international trade agreements, and the lengthy adoption/modification/repeal of the mass of domestic legislation tangled up with the EU.

Quiet introspection by the Law Society’s Council in terms of the Society’s internal governance should surely now wait, so that pressure for real innovation can form part of the lobbying of all parties in terms of their policies for the delivery of a modern legal system, guided by justice and sound principles, not by a short sighted desire to relentlessly cut costs.
