The Legal Services Board has appointed solicitors but no barristers to the Office for Legal Complaints, the new consumer complaints body. The six successful candidates—three solicitors and three non-lawyers—will serve for three years.
An LSB spokesperson said: “The Legal Services Act has a complex set of requirements of skills and experience that board members need to have. There has to be a lay majority but there is nothing specific about which part of the profession the lawyers come from.”
