The Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC) has launched a discussion paper, ‘Conveyancing 2030’, predicting huge change ahead as the administrative side of the role becomes automated

The paper envisages property lawyers focusing on advisory work and soft skills becoming more important as technology takes care of the rest. Key questions for the industry include whether government should mandate the move to electronic conveyancing, rather than wait for incremental change, and the extent to which regulators will need to regulate technology as well as lawyers.

CLC chair Dame Janet Paraskeva said she hoped the paper would ‘fuel a discussion’.
