    We also want to help tackle the problem that too many people cannot access the services of a regulated legal professional. It has committed to getting rid of barriers to solicitors working freely in the legal sector, including in the growing number of 'non-LSA regulated' firms providing legal services such as will-writing and resolving employment disputes. Changing outdated rules constraining access to solicitors will make it easier for people to benefit from their expertise and high standards, potentially in more affordable ways

      Also interestingly

      Consumer information
      25. To help consumers navigate the market and make informed choices, we will make sure they receive appropriate information on the services they are buying and the protections available. A large part of the CMA report is focused on improving transparency to help consumers understand the regulatory status of different providers, the redress available, the price they will pay and the service they will receive. We think consumers need to receive this information in a way that allows them to make choices quickly and easily, while being able to choose the "best" option for them.
      26. Our October 2016 discussion paper, Regulatory data and consumer choice in legal services6, opened up debate on these issues. We will be considering what action we can take to make sure consumers have access to good quality, authoritative information to benefit fully from the increased choices we are making available to them. We are also reviewing the recommendations in the CMA report in detail. We will launch a consultation on these issues in autumn 2017.
