The Deputy will wish to note that, in October 2016, the Legal Services Regulatory Authority was established under the Legal Services Regulation Act 2015 as the independent statutory regulator for both branches of the legal profession - barristers and solicitors.
The Authority’s remit includes the maintenance and improvement of standards in the provision of legal services and it also accepts and investigates complaints which relate to the provision of legal services by barristers and solicitors, including solicitors’ firms.
Further details can be found in the Authority's Annual Reports, annual accounts, and other publications, which are publicly available on its website www.lsra.ie.
