CLLS Response to LSB Consultation "Upholding Professional Ethical Duties"

This is the response of the City of London Law Society to the LSB’s Consultation “Upholding Professional Ethical Duties” issued in March 2025. The consultation sets out five outcomes that the LSB considers regulators must pursue to ensure that those they regulate uphold their professional ethical duties, based on the professional principles in the Legal Services Act 2007 (the Act). These outcomes would be codified in a statement of policy issued under section 49 of the Act.

This response has been prepared by the CLLS Professional Rules and Regulation Committee.
