Solicitors are being asked for their views on whether the practising fee represents value for money, if the split of spending across the group and individual levies is reasonable, whether the money is used well, and any other aspect of the proposed Law Society budget for next year on which they would like to comment. The practising fee is estimated to remain at the same level of £320 next year. More information is available on the Law Society website. The survey closes at 5pm on 2 July.
