CILEx Regulation has appointed the University of Law as its training and assessment provider for practice rights. Chartered Legal Executives can now obtain the right to practise one or more reserved areas of activity by completing an assessment of competence

CILEx Regulation will be running a pilot with a limited number of applicants before making a final application to the Legal Services Board in early 2022.

Janine Griffiths-Baker, CEO, CILEx Regulation, said: ‘We look forward to working with the University to design, develop, and implement a rigorous assessment process.’
