The CLC has regulated licensed conveyancers in England and Wales for 25 years. More recently we have extended our regulatory expertise to cover other legal services including probate and Alternative Business Structures.
Our mission is to protect the public interest, provide consumer choice and to promote effective competition in the legal services market. We do so by setting entry standards and regulating providers to delivery high quality, accessible legal services.
Our new outcomes-focused regulatory approach went live
on 6 October 2011. The new approach is risk-based, concentrated less upon
compliance with prescriptive rules and more explicitly focused upon the delivery
of specific positive outcomes for clients. Find out more...
