The Legal Services Act 2007 ( the 2007 Act) introduces new methods of practice for lawyers and people working in firms that supply legal services. An LDP is an example of one type of such a practice. The 2007 also confers on the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) the power to regulate LDPs that include up to 25% non-lawyer managers provided that they have at least one solicitor or registered European lawyer manager. Secondary legislation allowing LDPs came into force on 31st March 2009. The 2007 Act also confers power on the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC) to regulate bodies that provide conveyancing services and other restricted legal services, where an authorised person of a kind qualified to provide such services is a manager, employee or owner of an interest in the body.
