Price Transparency Rules & Guidance

Price Transparency Rules & Guidance

New rules and guidance means that those regulated by the SRA, CLC, CILEx, BSB or LSoS should publish price information for certain services.

For those regulated by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC), the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx) or Bar Standards Board - rules have been introduced. If you are regulated by the Law Society of Scotland, guidance comes into effect from 1st July 2020.

Why new rules?

The rule changes the regulators are making are a direct result of the recommendations set out in the Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA) Legal Services Market Study regarding price and service transparency.
