Calling all family lawyers

Family practitioners are invited to take part in the next part of the Law Society’s research into issues facing legal aid providers, which is being conducted with Frontier Economics

But be quick—register your interest by 1 March to take part in the research.

Law Society president Nick Emmerson said: ‘In February, the Law Society published the results of its analysis of data from housing legal aid providers.

‘It provided us with vital information as we continue to lobby the Ministry of Justice to make real and lasting changes to the civil legal aid market and ensure its future. Now we are embarking on the next stage of our research—family law providers—and we are calling on the profession to help us with this.’
