Managing Partner James Libson has published an article in Financial News on the importance of lawyers standing up for the rule of law. In the article James says that the economic benefits to the UK and globally of the English legal system – known for its predictability, adaptability and quality – are well-established and must be promoted and protected.
James said: “It is time for lawyers to participate more forcefully and more loudly in the debate. We should do so because without promoting, securing and ensuring the funding of the English rule of law system, we will all be impacted financially. But, even more importantly, we should do so because we are responsible as legal professionals, with privileged insight into the risks we face, and as citizens, to speak up and protect the values that led us into the profession in the first place.”
