Understanding the Law Society in a no win, no fee compensation claim

Personal injury victims who choose to make no win, no fee compensation claims in the UK should be aware of the Law Society. This is an organisation that covers solicitors in the country in terms of regulation, negotiation, and training, among many other necessities.

The two main arms of the Society that are of interest to people seeking compensation are the Legal Complaints Service and the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

The first of these is the independent and impartial part of the Law Society that handles complaints that a claimant may have regarding the work that their no win, no fee solicitor has performed for them. Previously known as the Consumer Complaints Service, it exists to deal swiftly and efficiently with any complaints within a compensation claim.

The second is the Solicitors Regulation Authority, which sets standards for personal injury solicitors across England and Wales, and monitors and enforces those standards. Previously known as the Law Society Regulation Board, it aims to serve the public even-handedly. Read more about the Solicitors Regulation Authority here.

Most compensation claims proceed happily within the remit of the second section, meaning that the first should not need to exist, but those that do not go smoothly mean that its existence is truly valuable. To avoid the need to use the legal Consumer Complaints Service, it is a good idea to talk your claim through with any legal firm you plan to use, and ask about their past practice.
