Legal Services Act

The Legal Services Act is a law that regulates the provision of legal services in the UK. It aims to promote competition, innovation, and higher standards within the legal profession by establishing a unified regulatory framework. The Act allows different types of legal practitioners—such as solicitors, barristers, and alternative business structures—to operate more freely and collaborate, with the goal of improving client choice, affordability, and quality of legal services. Overall, it modernizes and streamlines how legal services are delivered, ensuring they are accessible, transparent, and maintained to professional standards.
