LawWorks response to Legal Services Board Consultation 'Are regulatory restrictions in practicing rules for in-house lawyers justified?'

There are currently over 25,000 in-house lawyers in England and Wales.

The Legal Services Board (LSB) is concerned that any unnecessary restrictions on inhouse lawyers may have the potential to impose costs and red tape, frustrate innovation and adversely affect access to justice. 

The LSB published a discussion document titled 'Are regulatory restrictions in practicing rules for in-house lawyers justified? and invited responses.

LawWorks' response is attached.
