Consultation: To consider whether to make an application to the Legal Services Board (LSB) to be able to create routes/pathways to authorise Chartered Legal Executives with stand-alone litigation rights
This consultation would be of interest to members of our regulated community and other stakeholders including approved regulators and consumers of legal services.
The purpose of this consultation is to determine whether CRL should make an application to the LSB to enable CRL to:
- authorise existing chartered legal executives with stand-alone litigation practice rights under the legacy education standards;
- create three new Specialist Pathways under the new education standards to allow authorisation of new applicants with stand-alone litigation practice rights.
CILEX and CRL have identified support for the initiative from a number of existing members of our regulated community and stakeholders.
This consultation sets out how CRL proposes to assess applications for stand-alone litigation practice rights and CRL is seeking views on these proposals.
We welcome responses from our regulated community and other stakeholders including other approved regulators, consumers of legal services and any other interested parties.
