The Law Society has hired independent company 2CV to conduct research with conveyancing lawyers on controversial changes to the TA6 property form

Some 1,232 lawyers have signed up to the consultation, and will be contacted by 2CV this month. In-depth interviews will be held with selected participants in mid-September, followed by group discussions.

In October, the Law Society and 2CV will release a series of webinars, exploring areas of concern, including liability and digitisation, and hold online ‘large-scale’ workshops and roundtables.

The Law Society updated TA6 in March in line with National Trading Standards guidance, prompting a furious response from property lawyers, who say the update increases their risk of liability.

In July, the Property Lawyers Action Group (PLAG) organised but lost a vote of no confidence in the Law Society’s ability to represent members who practise conveyancing.
