Carbon Law Partners’ employment law specialist, Matthew Huggett (pictured) has taken over as the 59th President of CILEX (the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives), succeeding Caroline Jepson

His inauguration at the CILEX AGM this month was followed by the announcement CILEX is initiating formal talks with the Solicitors Regulation Authority about potentially transferring the regulation of its members. Under the proposal, the CILEX identity and route to qualification would be preserved, and there would be no cross-subsidy between CILEX practitioners and solicitors on the cost of regulation. CILEX would continue to represent its 20,000 members.

Pledging to champion the CILEX career route and improvements to working lives and opportunities during his term, Huggett said: ‘The legal profession would have been entirely closed to me if CILEX had not existed. For many, it simply isn’t possible to fund a legal qualification when you have a mortgage to pay and children to support.’
