The Work and Organisation of the Legal Profession.

This Green Paper reflects the Government's stated overall objective of ensuring that the public has the best possible access to legal services and that those services are of the right quality for the particular needs of the client.

The Government believes that this is best achieved by ensuring that a market providing legal services operates freely and efficiently so as to give clients the widest possible choice of cost effective services, and so that the public can be certain that those supplying the services have the necessary expertise.
