Breaking down career barriers for CILEX lawyers and helping to bring about cultural and attitudinal changes in the workplace will be the priorities of CILEX president, Emma Davies.

Giving her inaugural speech in Devon this week, Davies said she would push for ‘parity in the workplace’, ensuring members ‘are afforded the same career development opportunities as other legal colleagues’ with career progression based on merit, not title or background.

Davies, who takes over from employment lawyer Matthew Huggett, is a regulatory law specialist at the Royal College of Nursing.

In the past year, CILEX has secured access to more senior judicial roles, parity of funding between solicitor and CILEX apprentices, and support in principle for legislation to allow CILEX lawyers to become Crown Prosecutors and police station duty lawyers. The Powers of Attorney Bill, currently in Parliament, will allow CILEX lawyers to certify copies of powers of attorney for the first time.
