In March 2025 CRL consulted with stakeholders to gauge interest in creating pathways to authorise Chartered Legal Executives to gain stand-alone litigation practice rights. The response was clear and over 95% of respondents were supportive of our proposals.
We’re now consulting on the requisite Rule changes to enable this. This consultation provides:
• Clarification on the various routes to authorisation of stand-alone litigation practice rights;
• Copy of amended rules to reflect the changes to requirement for members to submit a dual application for both litigation and advocacy practice rights;
• Confirmation of the new authorised titles that will be issued to successful applicants upon approval.
Responses are invited from our regulated community and other stakeholders including other approved regulators, consumers of legal services and any other interested parties.
Please respond by 4pm on 9 September 2025.
