The Law Society has today launched its member survey on the Practising Certificate fee for 2021/22. The Society proposes to maintain its share of the overall PC fee collection at £28.5m, the same level as in 20/21. Representing the views of the profession has never been more important, given the ongoing implications of the pandemic and Brexit, and the unprecedented market transformation and regulatory change, said Society president I. Stephanie Boyce. We understand the pressure that our members remain under and that is why we will keep our cost to members flat next year – this follows a 10% fee reduction in the current year.
English law thrives in America
English law thrives in the US as an alternative to American jurisprudence in cross-border deals, internal subsidiary transactions, acquisitions, and in-bound sale of goods.

I began my legal career as a shareholder and counsel to a business involved in relocating large scale commercial production facilities from the US and foreign locations. Exposed to English law during this period as well as during my initial legal training with a summer stint in London, I pursued an LLM in international and comparative law because of the practical need to interact and comprehend different legal regimes while negotiating transactional agreements.
PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Bar has relaunched a mobile app that will contain information on a lawyer s membership status to help address the problem of people pretending to be advocates and solicitors.
Its president Salim Bashir said the newly revamped mobile app includes a digital membership card (DMC) for Members of the Bar.
With the DMC, Salim said a member can prove his or her membership status instantly. Only Members with a valid Practising Certificate will be able to access the mobile app, and thus the DMC. The DMC has a vCard QR Code that acts as a digital business card.
