Welcome

Dear Candidate,

We all count on lawyers and legal services at significant moments in our lives, whether it’s dealing with a tough emotional situation like a family breakdown, making sure a business deal goes smoothly, being a victim of crime or facing criminal charges. Our civil, democratic society relies on a well-functioning, competitive, effectively regulated legal services profession.

But in many areas, the sector does not work as well for people and businesses as it might or should. Too many people do not or cannot get access to the services which could give them better and fairer outcomes. The sector does not reflect the diversity of the population, particularly at senior levels. Consumers do not have the information they need to make informed choices. Good regulation in the sector has a major part to play in meeting these and many other challenges, and that is at the heart of the LSB’s mission.

As our new Corporate Services Director, you will be joining a senior leadership team in a role that enables and influences the strategic direction of the organisation; and you will lead an engaged and committed directorate which underpins our success and ensures we deliver on key commitments. If you want to make a difference in a small but ambitious organisation, and are passionate about public service delivery, this might just be the job for you.

I wish you every success in your application.

Craig Westwood

Chief Executive
