LSB Consults on Professional Ethics

6 March, 2025

The LSB has today launched a consultation on a draft Policy Statement setting out principles for legal services regulators in relation to securing adherence to professional ethics.

The CLC is pleased to have been involved in the LSB’s work to develop these proposals through the Professional Ethics and Rule of Law project.

The CLC puts ethics at the heart of the standards it sets as well as its approach to monitoring and enforcing compliance.

The CLC’s revised ethical principles came into force this January. They are the foundational element of the Code of Conduct that applies to all CLC-regulated lawyers and practices, and, vitally, they are also the starting point for the national professional qualifications that lead to license as a CLC lawyer.

We look forward to reviewing the LSB’s proposals and encourage CLC lawyers to respond to the consultation too.
