Law Update: Culture change
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Law Society has to face alienating some of its members if it is to continue to serve both the public and the profession, according to its secretary general, John Hayes. Speaking at a seminar at Manchester University, Mr Hayes said that the society did not exist to protect privileges or monopolies, but to reinforce a change in culture 'which emphasises client care, promotes professional excellence and does not regard the following of sound business practice as somehow alien to the values of the profession.'
