Conveyancing regulation

The Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC) has published its strategy for specialist regulation of providers of property law services, principally conveyancing and probate and associated areas such as wills. The CLC will be able to issue stand-alone licences to probate practitioners once the Deregulations Bill passes into law and comes into force. CLC chair Anna Bradley says: “We believe specialist regulation represents an important and successful alternative that should continue within any future structural framework for legal services regulation.”
