leave a comment »

The new Legal Ombudsman – a post created by  Office for Legal Complaints under provisions contained in the Legal Services Act 2007 – started work on 6 October 2010. It replaces a ‘system’ in which 8 different bodies had responsibility for handling complaints about lawyers. The first holder of the office is Adam Sampson. He has a staff of around 350 who investigate complaints received by his office.
