Response to Impact Assessment of Policy Option 1: Require All Claims to Be Submitted to ACAS in the First Instance
Resolving Workplace Disputes: Response of the Employment Lawyers Association to a Consultation by the Department for Business Innovations & Skills – April 2011 i. The Employment Lawyers Association (“ELA”) is an unaffiliated group of specialists in employment law including those who represent both employers and employees. It is not our role to comment on the political merits or otherwise of proposed legislation; rather we make observations from a legal standpoint. ii. ELA’s Policy and Legislative Committee consists of barristers and solicitors (both in private practice and in-house) who meet regularly for a number of purposes, including considering and responding to proposed new laws. iii. We set up a working group under the Chairmanship of Richard Fox (Kingsley Napley) to consider and comment on the Consultation Paper “Resolving Workplace Disputes” released by the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (“BIS”) in January 2011. iv. We organised ourselves into 5 subgroups as follows: Group 1 – Chair: Peter Frost (Herbert Smith) Mediation – Questions 1 to 7; Compromise Agreements – Questions 8 to 11; Early Conciliation – Questions 12 to 20; Further information – Question 24; Initial statement of loss – Questions 34 to 41 Group 2 – Chair: Stephen Levinson (RadcliffeLeBrasseur) Strike out – Questions 21 to 23; Deposit Orders – Questions 25 to 29; Calderbank Orders – Questions 42 to 44; Costs cap – Questions 30 to 33; Entitlement to expenses – Questions 49 to 51 Group 3 – Chair: Robert Davies (Dundas & Wilson) Witness statement procedure -

Careers at the Chancery Bar
Careers at the Chancery Bar With the right qualifications, where you come from doesn’t matter, where you’re going does. “if you are looking for a career which combines intellectual firepower, communication skills and the ability to provide practical solutions to legal problems, then your natural home is the Chancery Bar” 2 Chancery Bar Association Chancery Bar Association 1 Welcome to the Chancery Bar Do you enjoy unravelling the knottiest of legal problems? Would you relish the prospect of your appearances in court helping to develop cutting-edge areas of law? How does advising major commercial concerns to put together a complex transaction appeal? Would you like to assist organisations to achieve their commercial goals, and support and guide individuals at times of great personal stress? If your answer to any of these questions is “Yes”, then the Chancery Bar may be the career for you. Barristers who specialise in the areas of property, business and finance law most closely associated with the Chancery Division of the High Court are called “Chancery barristers” and, collectively, the “Chancery Bar”. Of the 15,000 barristers practising in England and Wales, about 1,200 specialise in Chancery work. Most are based in London but there are other important regional centres, such as Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Leeds and Manchester. In recent years the nature of Chancery work has changed dramatically. It still includes the important work traditionally undertaken in the Chancery Division, but the expansion and development of commercial activity, together with the increasingly complex matters that arise out of that activity, have widened its scope significantly. -

Dr Laura Janes
Using the law to make a difference Some reflections by Laura Janes They say that if you are not outraged, you are not paying attention. On outrage, attention and change Growing up, I was incensed by the injustice of the racism I saw around me where I lived in East London. The family of my local hairdresser was killed in their own home by a petrol bomb in a racist attack. My mum and I went to local anti-racist demonstrations and campaigned locally. The more I learned about the world around me, the more outrage I felt. I set up an amnesty group at school, and then university and continued to campaign on various issues. But I quickly became frustrated. It seemed to me that telling people what they should do, or not do, rarely worked. I formed the view that only the law could make people do the right thing. So I became a lawyer. Although I soon realised that the law has failed if it is only for lawyers. Law is not a secret weapon: is only effective if people know about it and it is respected. Public legal education, access to high quality legal information for ordinary people, decision makers and lawyers, is essential. Organisations like Legal Action Group, which I chair are key. 1 Why being a lawyer for change means fighting for access to justice or why I started YLAL On entering practice, I also found out that becoming a lawyer does not mean you can make a difference when you need to. There is the question of access to justice. -
BLS Annual Report 2013
Birmingham Law Society PRESIDENT’S FOREWORD President’s Foreword As I considered preparation of this article I glanced at Mary Kaye’s MartinAllsopp, President foreword of last year and noted the words “nothing actually prepares you for the work needed to run Birmingham Law Society”. How right Mary was. I recall that I became your President on St George’s Day and nothing of major significance happened in the first 7 days of my Presidency. Little did I know that a storm was fast approaching from the Atlantic. I prepared myself for a major intervention of a City Firm profession by the SRA and the cost of obtaining which thankfully, up to the date of writing this article, never Professional Indemnity Cover which continues to be a came. I was concerned about the effect on the profession major concern particularly to the smaller firms in our area of alternative business structures and the financial position going forward. It was my ambition to appear on page 3 of of BLS in the midst of a recession. I could not then have the Post but this page is apparently reserved for more known that I would be embroiled in the most significant glamorous articles! Legal Aid battle that the profession had ever witnessed. With experience in the property market for more than 40 I believe that we have reached a hiatus now in the number years this came as somewhat of a challenge. I have done of members of BLS for the time being. A number of my best in every speech that I have made and every article mergers have taken place during my Presidential Year and that I have written to defend the right of access to justice I believe that more will be planned for the next. -
