LSLA members responding to the surveys we have conducted in partnership with New Law Journal in the past five years have helped to inform and influence the debate around many of the major changes the legal sector has seen in that time.

Now more than ever we need all members to respond to this latest survey to ensure our views are heard loud and clear on issues including what the UK’s Brexit negotiators need to deliver for the legal sector; where we go next with procedural reform and the future for a fixed costs regime.

Please take a few minutes to complete this survey. Help us make litigators’ views count.
