Christophe JAMIN - Legal Services: The End of the Professions?

Pouvoirs n°140 - janvier 2012 - p.33-47

For more than a decade, the hold exerted by the industrial business sector over low-making officials has contributed to a questioning of the very legitimacy of legal professions. In order to modernize the sector of legal services and to encourage competition that is supposed to be beneficial to the public, it would be necessary to dismantle the professional regulations, at least partially. Legal professionals, first of whole lawyers and solicitors, are reacting to these changes but, in France, they have adopted very different strategies that lead them to an inevitable clash, without necessarily preventing the “deprofessionalization” of legal activities to proceed to the benefit of the market.
