      Dealing with uncertainty

      We recognise the distress and uncertainty the original Mazur judgment caused to many of those we regulate. We spoke to Elizabeth Rimmer, LawCare’s CEO regarding the ongoing impact of the Mazur judgement on our regulated community and what advice they could offer to help. She commented:

      We understand that the Mazur case has left many people feeling anxious and unsettled. If you’re feeling this way, you are not alone. Many others across the profession are experiencing the same uncertainty, frustration and fear about what comes next. We offer a safe space to talk through your worries and help you find further support if needed.

      If you need to talk, please call LawCare’s free and confidential helpline on 0800 279 6888. You can also email support@lawcare.org.uk or use their online chat service which you can find on www.lawcare.org.uk.
