Law Society responds to LSB call for regulatory reform with Brexit

Robert Bourns, president of the Law Society called on Brexit as a reason not to rock the regulation boat. He said: “During a period of unprecedented change for Britain following the vote to leave the European Union we must maintain confidence in all our markets and in particular the legal market. Uncertainty should be reduced, not increased.”

Bourns said “embarking on regulatory change in this climate, especially when there is broad recognition that the current regulatory framework is working, is misconceived.”
