CILEx Regulation was advised by the Legal Services Board (LSB) on 16 June 2021 that the application to introduce its new education standards has been approved. The new standards create an integrated set of education requirements and a single application process, to allow applicants to become authorised as Chartered Legal Executives with the right to practise independently in their specialist area, without duplicating application and assessment requirements. Qualifying employment requirements are now aligned at three years. On qualification, a Chartered Legal Executive will be authorised as a Commissioner for Oaths and a practice right if they specialise in one of the reserved or regulated activities. More information on the new standards can be found here.
