Dear colleague,
Your weekly Law Society update
As the professional body for solicitors, every week the Law Society is working hard to influence the legal and regulatory environment on behalf of our profession and to promote solicitors at home and abroad. We support practice excellence, are an informed source of legal sector news and support members at every stage of their career.
Please help us attract new talent for Law Society Committees
If you know anyone, whether a Law Society member or non member, with expertise in the following areas:
The closing date is Wednesday 29 January at noon.
Now on to our regular update...
Influencing on behalf of the profession and promoting the profession
The Law Society’s media profile:
The Daily Mail and 93 local news outlets, from Cornwall to Carrick and Whitchurch to Watford covered Law Society research showing more than 37 million people in England and Wales live in a local authority area without a single community care legal aid service, including more than 7.5 million people aged 65 and over.
Polly Sweeney, chair of the Law Society mental health and learning disability committee, was quoted in the Dorset Echo and 22 other local news outlets speaking about why there are so many people deprived of their liberty unlawfully.
Legal services contributed nearly £60bn to the UK economy in 2018 while in 2017 legal services exports hit approximately £5bn, according to the latest available figures revealed in an authoritative new report commissioned by the Law Society from KPMG – covered in Legal Futures, the Times Brief, City a.m., Law Society Gazette, Daily Mail, Daily Express and Metro and in 180 other publications up and down the country including the Western Mail, the Wolverhampton Express and Star and the Swindon Advertiser.
I said: “This report shows the value of our sector to UK PLC – that is why we think it is vital our trade negotiators put legal and other professional services at the heart of forthcoming talks on a new deal with Europe.”
The Gazette reported the call by the Law Society and the Bar Council on Pakistan to respect lawyers and their work on the Day of the Endangered Lawyer. I said: “We honour the courage and commitment of lawyers around the world who uphold justice, often despite considerable risk to themselves, their colleagues, and their families. The rule of law is essential to preserve democratic values, fundamental freedoms and good governance.”
The Gazette also covered the launch of the Legally Disabled report which argued ‘radical intervention’ is needed to tackle the bullying and discrimination faced by disabled lawyers. The study also found there was reticence in disclosing disability.
I said: “Everyone should feel comfortable bringing their full selves to work and supported in asking for any reasonable adjustments. The legal profession should take into account the research’s findings and strive to create more inclusive work environments.”
The Law Society’s Aimey Sherwood wrote for the Gazette on the same subject.
FT Adviser discussed the Law Society campaign against increases to probate fees, quoting me: "A hike in probate fees would have been a tax on grief. We campaigned vigorously against the increase on behalf of bereaved families and are relieved the government has listened to reason."
Rachel Roche from Roche Legal spoke to BBC Radio Leeds (from 2:08:00) about the centenary of the Act of Parliament that allowed women to qualify and practise as solicitors.
Deputy vice president I. Stephanie Boyce wrote a column for the Northern Echo on the centenary. She said: “The legal profession has made great progress in the last hundred years, but there is still a long way to go.”
Legal Action Group (LAG) alerts readers to focus groups run by the Law Society so solicitors can contribute their perspectives to the government's review of both the civil and criminal legal aid means tests. Find a Law Society focus group near you.
The Telegraph (£) cited my praise for the doctrine of judicial review as a “vital part of the checks and balances necessary to protect people from powerful institutions and underpin the rule of law".
The Gazette and Family Law Week covered our welcome of the lord chancellor’s decision to raise the statutory legacy sum. From 6 February 2020 spouses or civil partners with children will be able to inherit £270,000 from intestate estates, up from a cap of £250,000.
The Mirror explored why couples might want a ‘petnup’. The Law Society said ‘petnups’ can help “to provide peace of mind”.

Regulation
Meeting of the Public Private Steering Group
Rob Cummings, head of regulatory affairs and economic crime, attended a meeting of the public private steering group which oversees the government’s work on tackling economic crime. This was the first meeting since the general election and officials reiterated the government’s strong focus in this area. The group discussed ways of working, future priorities and also received an update on the work the government is taking forward looking at sustainable resourcing for tackling economic crime.
Public Law
Alongside publication of the latest quarterly Family Court Statistics (July to September 2019) by the ministry of justice, statisticians from the department asked for feedback about how probate statistics are presented and about introducing a measure relating to timeliness. We have responded to give members’ views, to ensure these continue to meet user needs.
Promoting our profession
Legal services were worth almost £60bn Gross Value Added to the UK economy in 2018 (see Media above)
Our newly launched report, commissioned from KPMG, analyses the value of legal services in the UK. This report includes the economic contribution of people employed directly in the sector, as well as in-house lawyers and general counsel in other business sectors, who have not previously been included in analysis on the value of the profession. The report projects that just 1% productivity increase in the legal sector in 2020 could boost UK GDP by between £990m and £1,200m by 2050.
As well as serving domestic demand, the legal sector in the UK provides services overseas - with 15% of the sector’s output being exported (based on 2016 data) - and made a positive net contribution of £4.29bn to the value of UK trade in 2017. The report shows the significant value of the profession, both nationally and globally, and solidifies why it is crucial that access to the EU27 for our legal professionals, as well as recognition of their qualifications, is maintained once the post-Brexit transition period finishes at the end of 2020.

Disabilities Division
A new study undertaken by a research team based at Cardiff Business School, working with the Lawyers with Disabilities Division of the Law Society launched today (see Media above).
The legally disabled? research reveals the everyday barriers that disabled solicitors face in the profession.
The study found that 40% of solicitors asked either never or only sometimes tell their employer or prospective employer of their disability. 54% of disabled solicitors thought that their career and promotion prospects were inferior to their non-disabled colleagues.
