Administrative / biographical background

The Legal Services Consumer Panel was following the Legal Services Act 2007 and began work on 1 November 2009. The Panel is an independent arm of the Legal Services Board (LSB) and is made up of eight lay members whose appointments are approved by the Lord Chancellor. It is led by a Chairman who is appointed for a fixed period of time and on other conditions approved by the Board. The panel aims to provide high quality, evidenced-based advice to the LSB, in order to help them make decisions that are shaped around the needs of consumers.

LSB was created in 2008 by the Legal Services Act of 2007. It became fully active on 1 January 2010 when the new regulatory regime was activated by statute. LSB's roles and responsibilities include: the regulation of approved regulators, oversight of the Office of Legal Complaints, the recommendation of amendments for the list of reserved legal activities, and setting up voluntary arrangements to improve standards (if required).

LSB is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Ministry of Justice. The set-up and ongoing costs of it are met entirely by a levy on practitioners within the legal sector, so the body is both politically and financially independent from Government.
