Administrative / biographical background:

On 24 July 2003, the Constitutional Affairs Secretary, Lord Falconer, launched a wide-ranging independent review of the regulation of the legal services market aimed at promoting competition and innovation and improving services for the customer. The review was led by Prudential plc chairman and former Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, Mr David Clementi. His role was to examine the independent legal sector and the regulatory system.

The Terms of Reference of the Review were:

  • To consider what regulatory framework would best promote competition, innovation and the public and consumer interest in an efficient, effective and independent legal sector.
  • To recommend a framework which will be independent in representing the public and consumer interest, comprehensive, accountable, consistent, flexible, transparent, and no more restrictive or burdensome than is clearly justified.

The Report on Regulatory Review of Legal Services was published on 15 December 2004.
