Richard Moriarty, a regulatory guru, will take over as head of the Legal Services Board (LSB) early in 2015. Moriarty, who is currently director of regulation at Affinity Water says he is looking forward to “working closely with all those that have an interest in our legal sector to ensure it remains admired at home and abroad by delivering for consumers and by being innovative, vibrant and effective”. Chris Kenny, the current LSB chief executive, leaves at the end of November and interim arrangements will see Julie Myers, LSB corporate director, lead on accounting officer responsibilities and Caroline Wallace, LSB strategy director, lead on regulatory responsibilities.
