London Solicitors Lititgation Association
The Legal Services Board has announced a consultation on referral fees, referral arrangements and fee sharing.

The consultation looks at the LSB's assessment of gathered evidence and considers whether there should be a ban on referral fees in the conveyancing and personal injury markets, whether fee sharing is reducing quality in criminal advocacy and whether current disclosure arrangements work effectively.

A copy of the consultation paper can be found at http://www.legalservicesboard.org.uk/what_we_do/pdf/20100929_referral_fees.pdf The consultation closes on 22 December 2010 and the LSLA is preparing a response.
