New chair for ILEX Professional Standards
Former British Ambassador, and member of the Queen's Counsel Appointments Panel, Quinton Quayle has been named as the new chair of ILEX Professional Standards (IPS), the regulator for chartered legal executive lawyers and members of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx).
Quinton says: "I am delighted to be taking up the Chair of IPS in June as it moves into an exciting new period in its development. IPS has chalked up some impressive achievements under Alan Kershaw who has chaired the board with distinction over the past seven years. I look forward to working with other members of the IPS board, with the IPS executive and with CILEx to build on the good progress that has been made."
Quinton will oversee the work of IPS as it regulates specialist legal businesses and legal professionals authorised for the new suite of practice rights. He will take up post on 1 June 2015 following the conclusion of Alan Kershaw’s term of office.
CILEx president Frances Edwards warmly welcomed the appointment, saying: “I am thrilled Quinton will be joining IPS, and I greatly look forward to working with him in his new role. The regulatory landscape has been changing fast in recent years, and CILEx members have been at the forefront of outcomes-focused regulation and a fresh approach to CPD. Many more changes are to come, and I have no doubt both CILEx members and IPS will benefit from Quinton’s experience and expertise.”
