New LSB rules on regulators’ fees will increase transparency for lawyers
The Legal Services Board (LSB) has published new Rules and Guidance to increase transparency on how legal services regulators spend practising certificate fees (PCF).
Increased transparency will help empower those who pay the PCF to hold their regulator accountable for its expenditure. The proposals are designed to lead to a more meaningful debate on the purpose, benefits, costs, and value of regulation, improve standards across the sector and promote the regulatory objectives.
Each year individual lawyers and legal firms must pay a PCF to their approved regulator to practise. Regulators can only collect a PCF if the LSB has approved the level of the fee. The new PCF Rules and Guidance are proportionate and they improve the framework for the practising fee application and approval process.

Notwithstanding these qualifications, Robinson explores some significant implications of these reforms, such as their capacity to improve access to and affordability of legal services. Below, we briefly review the cases of regulatory reform in the United Kingdom and Australia and highlight Robinson’s observations on their impact on access. For a comp
