Alan Kershaw is to take over from Helen Phillips in April as chair of the Legal Services Board (LSB) for a four-year term.
Dr Phillips said she would look back with satisfaction at the LSB’s achievements, ‘including improvements in price transparency and public legal education that make it easier for people to navigate the legal services market and exercise consumer choice’.
Kershaw has specialised in professional regulation since 1983, and was a lay member of the original Solicitors Regulation Association Board and a member of the Intellectual Property Regulation Board and of the Admissions and Licensing Committee of CILEX Regulation. He will continue chairing the Architects Registration Board and the National Register of Public Service Interpreters.
