  • The Law Gazette Prominent Legal Figures Give Their Predictions for 2011
    Prominent legal figures give their predictions for 2011 Page 1 of 5 The Law Gazette Prominent legal figures give their predictions for 2011 by Eduardo Reyes Created 05/01/2011 - 14:06 No one from whom the Gazette sought a prediction sees the year ahead as dull – 2011, according to lawyers, people who provide services to the legal profession, a government minister, and the profession’s leaders, will be a year in which the economic context will remain extremely challenging. Firms’ finances will come under close scrutiny, serious new competitors will emerge, and lawyers will be moving firms in ever greater numbers. And there is, of course, huge concern about the future provision of legal aid. The political agenda is uppermost in many minds. The Ministry of Justice is committed to cutting £300m in its 2011/12 budget, which will have a massive impact on the justice system. Commentator and Gazette columnist Joshua Rozenberg believes that judges will come into conflict with policy- makers as cuts in government spending hit access to justice and the delivery of legal services. Unsurprisingly, justice minister Jonathan Djanogly does not highlight cuts, but predicts regulatory challenges, and notes the huge changes that practices will need to undergo to provide legal services to many clients. Des Collins, named Gazette legal personality of the year at the 2010 Law Society Excellence Awards, believes that the combination of Jackson’s proposals on costs and legal aid cuts would result in important cases failing to reach court. A government response to both consultations is expected by mid-May.
