New president for Chartered Institute of Legal Executives

Stephen Gowland, a chartered legal executive and solicitor, has become the first dual qualified president of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx). 

Stephen becomes the 50th president of the Institute, which represents vocationally trained lawyers, aspiring lawyers, apprentices and paralegals. Speaking at his inauguration in the Great Hall of Durham Castle, the new president spoke of his enthusiasm for CILEx’s new apprenticeships: “This is something I am passionate about, having started my legal career as an apprentice...These courses will provide individuals and employers with an additional approach to a legal career as a paralegal…and apprentices will be able to progress to qualification as a chartered legal executive lawyer.”
