Law Society lines up with City and regional counterparts to oppose SRA penalty proposals

Report from The Global Legal Post on the national, City, and other law societies' collective opposition to proposed changes to the SRA's financial penalties regime.

Highlights that the plans were criticised by "the influential City of London Law Society (CLLS)", quoting CLLS Chair Colin Passmore as saying: "The CLLS cannot agree with a policy which so many of our specialist lawyers consider is fundamentally flawed,” adding it was prepared to work with the SRA “to help produce a more sensible and proportionate policy".
