Our housing disrepair experts have once again hit the headlines, sharing our expertise on key talking points in the legal sector.
Following news of the Solicitors Regulation Authority’s (SRA) plan to ban the use of the phrase ‘no-win, no-fee’ earlier this Autumn, our managing director Rick Law shared his thoughts on the potential implications of an all out ban for regulated, ethical legal firms across the UK.
As Rick pointed out:
“While I agree that the unscrupulous tactics of some unregulated firms, using the no-win, no-fee banner purely as a sales tool to generate leads through channels like social media have no place in the UK legal system, not all no-win, no-fee legal firms are created equal.”
“Banning use of the term is not the answer to growing problems that we’re seeing all too often, where clients are falling victim to pushy sales tactics, group claims and a lack of transparency about fees.”
“The industry as a whole needs stricter regulation not only to protect the many qualified legal professionals delivering ethical, transparent no-win, no-fee arrangements to those who need it most, but for the people for whom these arrangements can be the difference between ensuring their family has a safe and secure home and being forced to live somewhere that poses a real risk to their health and safety.”
It’s fantastic to see Liberay Legal gaining coverage in the mainstream media as we continue in our mission to stand up for tenants across the UK.
