We issue consultations to seek views of stakeholders on our proposals to change our regulatory rules or procedures. We also regularly respond to consultations issued by other organisations. We can only currently receive responses via email or survey response. Details of closed consultations can be found on our webpage.

Consultation: Practising Certificate Fee 2025
Each year, CILEx Regulation (CRL) and the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEX) consult on the proposed practising certificate fee to be charged to the regulated communities.
The purpose of this consultation is to outline how we have used our share of your practising certificate fee in the first 5 months of 2024 and to set out our proposals for the 2025 practising certificate fee. It also includes details of how the practising certificate fee is distributed between the two organisations, plus details of our activities for 2024 and planned objectives for 2025. By setting out the information in this way, we hope that you will be able to engage effectively with the consultation.
Additional consultation information provided by CILEX and CRL includes:
- how we calculate the practising fee,
- the fee distribution between individuals and firms,
- how we intend to use your fee in 2025, linking this back to our strategic objectives and our day-to-day regulatory activities.
- a breakdown of the 2024 practising fee, to show how we have used the fee so far this year.

Consultation: CRL Corporate Strategy 2025-2027
Despite current uncertainties around the future of regulation, CRL continue to focus on delivering forward-looking legal regulation which protects the interests of consumers and advances the core issues affecting the legal sector. Our 2025-2027 strategy sets out our mission and priorities for the next three years and where we want to be at the end.
The strategy looks to build on our achievements from our previous three year strategy which focused on High Standards, Consumer empowerment and Equality, diversity and inclusion. Moving forwards, our four key strategic objectives will be:
- Standards and public trust
- Access to justice and consumer empowerment
- Independence and sustainability
- Be an authoritative, inclusive and capable organisation
