2nd April - Law News

1193rd Edition: LawNewsIndex is a UK based Law, Justice, Legislation & Rights related daily news & legal articles archive brought to you by TheLawMap

FOCUS OF THE DAY: Paralegals who qualify as solicitors without completing a formal training contract could damage the solicitor ‘brand’, according to a survey by Leeds Law Society. Over 60% of the 250 respondents, ranging from law firm partners to undergraduates, said they were worried about the impact of Solicitors Regulation Authority rules on the brand of ‘solicitor’ and a resulting oversupply of prospective employees in the legal market. Nearly half of those surveyed were concerned about the impact on salaries. Full story - The Law Society Gazette

FOCUS OF THE DAY: Barrister-owned entities will need to have at least £500,000 indemnity cover per claim, the Bar Standards Board (BSB) has confirmed. The minimum terms apply to all BSB-regulated entities. Entities are businesses owned and managed by lawyers, which concentrate on activities such as advocacy, client representation in court and giving specialist advice. The BSB, which is due to start regulating entities next month, has received more than 75 expressions of interest and 16 completed applications so far. Providing confirmation about the necessary insurance arrangements is expected to encourage further interest. Full story - New Law Journal
