  • Solicitors Regulation Authority the Cube 199 Wharfside Street Birmingham B1 1RN
    Solicitors Regulation Authority The Cube 199 Wharfside Street Birmingham B1 1RN FAO Juliet Oliver Crispin Passmore 20 th December 2017 Dear Sirs, Response of the CLLS Professional Rules and Regulation Committee (“CLLS”) to the SRA Consultation “Looking to the future: better information, more choice” (September 2017). 1. Introduction 1.1 The CLLS has read the SRA consultation paper entitled “Looking to the future: better information, more choice”. 1.2 In January 2016, the CLLS submitted a response to the October 2016 SRA discussion paper entitled “Regulatory data and consumer choice in the legal services” (the “January response”). 1.3 For the most part our comments reiterate those set out in our January response. In summary, the CLLS supports the recommendations set out in the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) report on the legal services for the provision of better information to sectors of the market where competition is not functioning and to assist individual consumers and small businesses in being able to make better informed choices when selecting solicitors. However, any proposals to publish information either by firms or by the SRA must: (A) be proportionate; (B) not be unduly burdensome to firms; and (C) ensure that the information to be published is objective, properly contextualised and presented in a helpful, clear and understandable manner which is not misleading. 1.4 We have provided our response to some (but not all) of the questions raised in the consultation paper. We have grouped our comments under the headings of Price transparency and description of the services provided, Publication of PII data, How to complain to the firm and to the Legal Ombudsman, Creating a digital register, Publishing complaints data and Transparency requirements of individual solicitors working outside LSA regulated firms.

  • Scheme Rules
    Consultation response: April 2010 Scheme rules Scheme rules consultation response Introduction The Legal Ombudsman is being established by the Office for Legal Complaints (Legal Ombudsman) under the Legal Services Act 2007 to make sure users of legal services can go to an independent and impartial Ombudsman scheme to resolve disputes involving their lawyer. Finalising the scheme rules is a vital step in making the aims of the Act real so that users of legal services and their lawyers will have confidence in how complaints are resolved. The scheme rules themselves provide the framework for how we will resolve disputes and, drawing on the learning from complaints, inform good practice. The rules will underpin our decisions and our process. Over the last months of 2009 we consulted on the scheme rules. Of the three consultations we ran last year the scheme rules attracted the most responses (twenty) from a balanced mix of consumer and campaigning groups, individual firms and organisations representing the profession. Thank you to everyone who shared their views with us. We were pleased that the overall feedback was that the rules provide a robust structure to support an Ombudsman scheme that resolves disputes impartially, quickly and fairly. The responses to our consultations are published on the Legal Ombudsman website at www.legalombudsman.org.uk. Following the consultation our Board considered the responses we received and then agreed the scheme rules for the Legal Ombudsman. The Legal Services Board (LSB) then approved the proposed scheme rules as they are required to do under section 155 of the Act. We then wrote to the Lord Chancellor to ask for his consent (also under section 155 of the Act) to the case fee structure which is included in chapter six of the scheme rules.

  • F.A.O. Solicitors Regulation Authority the Cube 199 Wharfside Street Birmingham B1 1BN
    F.A.O. Solicitors Regulation Authority The Cube 199 Wharfside Street Birmingham B1 1BN 11 February 2015 Dear Sirs Response of the CLLS Professional Rules and Regulation Committee to the SRA’s consultation on the Separate Business Rule (the “Consultation”) The City of London Law Society (“CLLS”) represents approximately 15,000 City lawyers through individual and corporate membership including some of the largest international law firms in the world. These law firms advise a variety of clients from multinational companies and financial institutions to Government departments, often in relation to complex, multi-jurisdictional legal issues. The CLLS responds to a variety of consultations on issues of importance to its members through its specialist committees. This response to the Consultation has been prepared by the CLLS Professional Rules and Regulation Committee.1 We acknowledge the context in which the Consultation proposals have been promulgated. The unregulated legal services sector is already permitted and growing. Alternative Business Structures (‘ABS’)’s established by non-lawyers are being granted waivers of the Separate Business Rule, although we would submit that is principally a result of their key investors already undertaking business activities which happen to fall within the scope of prohibited separate business activities, as opposed to indicating market demand for change, and could have been foreseen. The Government has confirmed that it has no appetite to legislate to change the Legal Services Act 2007 (‘LSA’) or to review its list of reserved activities. We do not necessarily have appetite for an approach which mandates the SRA regulating all solicitors’ reserved and non-reserved activities.

  • Complaints in Focus: ‘No Win, No Fee’ Agreements
    Complaints in focus: ‘No win, no fee’ agreements www.legalombudsman.org.uk DISPUTES ABOUT CONDITIONAL FEE AGREEMENTS AND THEIR CAUSES 1 Summary Over recent months, the Legal Ombudsman has become increasingly concerned about the operation of ‘no win, no fee’ legal services. We have made conduct referrals to regulators about the way some law firms have handled these agreements. Our scheme has also made financial remedies to consumers of almost £1 million in the past year.1 ‘No win, no fee’ agreements promise customers a way of funding litigation at minimal financial risk to themselves. They are usually formally referred to as conditional fee agreements (CFAs), and are sold on the understanding that a lawyer will not take a fee if the claim fails. In most cases, if the claim is successful, the lawyer will charge an uplift (known as a success fee) in addition to their base costs. These agreements can offer customers an affordable and simple solution. Not all the time though - we are seeing examples of very poor service in some of the cases that come to us and have made conduct referrals where service providers have failed to honour agreements with customers or have exploited loopholes in the contracts, with serious consequences for their clients. These raise questions about the way that such agreements are structured and sold. There are signs that these cases may be representative of a wider problem with ‘no win, no fee’ agreements which, if unaddressed, may lead to significant market issues arising. Some, such as the Committees of Advertising Practice (CAP), have previously warned that the phrase ‘no win, no fee’ is “potentially misleading, because it can imply that the client will be liable for no costs whatsoever”2.

  • Complaints Procedure
    Draft: Complaints Procedure 1. Chambers procedures for dealing with complaints have been reviewed to ensure they cover the types of problems that arise, reflect current standards, and are effective. Sections 7.4 and 7.5 in the Chambers manual sets-out Chambers’ current complaints procedure as drafted in 2008 from a Bar Council template. The procedure in the manual seems to be dealing more with complaints from members of the public, whereas there are other types of complaint that arise (see below). The procedure is also slightly confused in terms of responsibilities and needs to be upgraded to conform with the present management structure of Chambers. It is also the case that some complaints against professional conduct require referral to the regulatory authorities – Bar Standards Board or Bar Complaints Commissioner. 2. The BSB now requires those dealing with complaints to receive training to ensure members of Chambers and staff have guidance in appropriate procedures and the fairness required in the handling of complaints. It is now no longer good enough to appoint an ad hoc panel. Chambers also needs an appeal mechanism so that decisions are reviewed if a party is unhappy with an outcome. 3. The headings for the different type of complaint are: i. Members over the conduct of another member of Chambers. ii. Disputes over fees between members of Chambers. iii. Members of Chambers as to staff conduct or service. iv. Members of the public complaining over the conduct or quality of service received from a member of staff, member of chambers or a pupil. v. Judges, courts, solicitors, prosecuting authorities complaining as to conduct or quality of service of a member of staff or member of Chambers.

    Meeting Agenda Item No. 13 OLC Board Paper No. 91.11 Date of meeting 17 October 2018 Time required 15 Minutes Title Horizon Scanning – October 2018 Sponsor Rob Powell – Chief Executive Officer Status OFFICIAL To be Members and those in attendance communicated to: Executive summary Since the beginning of financial year 2018/19, the External Affairs team has been producing a horizon scan to inform senior members of the organisation of developments in legal regulation, claims management, the ombudsman landscape and beyond. Not only does this build knowledge and understanding of the external environment, but it assists with forecasting and allows us to consider policy responses well in advance of any changes in the landscape. There have been further changes made to the format of this paper to assist with communication of analysis and impact. October’s horizon scan highlights in particular major changes to regulators’ rules, including flexibility in where service providers can practice, what information they must provide to the public about their services, and how they are trained before they become qualified. It also notes recent research into opinions and concerns of the profession regarding these changes. Recommendation/action required Board is asked to NOTE the update and analysis provided. 1 Horizon Scan – October 2018 Overview Likelihood score refers to how probable it is that this impact will hit us (at the level identified). Demand is effect on complaint volumes. Impact categories High – this issue has the potential to alter our day-to-day operations within the next year and may require a direct response. Medium – this issue could necessitate policy development on an issue; it may affect the environment in which we operate and/or is likely to affect us directly within the next three years.
