Shaping the Regulatory Landscape: Join Our Expanded Sub-committee
Regulation is no longer just about how we practise; it is at the heart of how our clients do business.
The Liverpool Law Society is expanding the remit of its regulatory committee. We are moving beyond a traditional focus on professional conduct to encompass the full spectrum of regulatory work carried out by lawyers across the Merseyside region. From the complexities of financial services to the unique demands of maritime, healthcare, data privacy, and environmental compliance, our committee aims to be the leading voice for regulatory excellence in the Northwest.
Our Mission
The subcommittee serves as a critical bridge between practitioners, regulators, and the wider business community. We:
Influence Policy: Review and respond to high-level consultations from the SRA, LSB, FCA, ICO, and other statutory bodies.
Share Intelligence: Keep the Merseyside legal community ahead of the curve through expert insights in Liverpool Law and exclusive member briefings.
Build a Network of Experts: Provide a forum for regulatory specialists to share cross-sector best practices and address the specific challenges facing the Liverpool City Region.
Who We Are Looking For
We are inviting expressions of interest from lawyers and academics across all regulatory disciplines. Whether you specialise in professional standards, navigate MCA shipping regulations, advise on life sciences/CQC compliance, or help FinTechs navigate the regulatory landscape, your expertise is needed at the table.
