As practitioners will be aware, section 150 of the Legal Services Regulation Act 2015 has been in force since 7 October 2019, replacing section 68 of the Solicitors (Amendment) Act 1994.  The Legal Services Regulation Act Task Force has made a suite of precedent and guidance documents available to solicitors since that time.

Feedback from members has suggested that those precedent documents could be made more user-friendly and that there should be text for specific areas of practice.

As a result, and with the assistance of specialised committees within the Society, the Task Force has prepared a redrafted suite of costs precedents and guidance materials.

As always, compliance with the legislation is a matter of personal responsibility for each practitioner to make and the sample texts provided should be used as a guide only.

The suite of documents is available to view in the Law Society Website precedents area.
