In brief
The practising certificate (PC) fee for solicitors in England and Wales is to remain at the same level, the Law Society has announced. The decision to keep the fee static at £950 was made at the Law Society council meeting last Wednesday. Andrew Holroyd, society president, says: “I’m committed to working hard to continue the reform of the Law Society to deliver more effective, value for money support to solicitors and on the representative side we are now much leaner than a year ago. Of course the bulk of the PC fee funds the work of the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Council has maintained careful oversight of the SRA’s budget.”
