FOCUS OF THE DAY: Law firms should embrace unbundling and do more to market it to clients, according to the Legal Services Board (LSB). The LSB and Legal Services Consumer Panel, its consumer wing, published new Ipsos Mori research with consumers, lawyers and judges this week. Unbundling is where legal services are broken down into separate parts, which are then shared between the lawyer and the client. For example, a client could opt to save money by preparing their own evidence and instructing a barrister for representation. Full story - New Law Journal

FOCUS OF THE DAY: Court fee increases introduced six months ago failed to deliver any tangible improvements in the courts service or help protect access to justice, the Law Society said today.
