The potential positive outcomes in relation to diversity weren't missed by the regulator at all.

The SRA's application explicitly stated "We know BAME solicitors
are disproportionately represented among sole practitioners and these proposals are particularly likely to benefit them"

and

"Allowing individual solicitors to be freelancers may increase diversity in the profession by providing opportunities for older solicitors or
those that wish to work flexibly due to caring and/or parenting responsibilities. This might include those returning to the profession after a career break"
