THE PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS OF MAZUR CONSIDERED: HOW NOT TO BREAK THE CRIMINAL LAW BY USING NON-QUALIFIED STAFF… WEBINAR 3rd OCTOBER 2025

I have written three posts on the decision in Mazur v Charles Russell Speechlys already.  This judgment has profound practical implications for the profession in the way it manages cases and supervises staff.  This webinar on the 3rd October 2025 looks at the case in detail and considers the steps that practitioners must take not to fall foul of the law, which includes the criminal law.

(The question of who does what in litigation, how they are supervised and who – precisely – is “conducting” the litigation is now a major issue that all practices must address).

“If a person carries on a reserved legal activity without being entitled to do so, this is a criminal offence” Mazur & Anor v Charles Russell Speechlys LLP [2025] EWHC 2341 (KB), Mr Justice Sheldon, at 52. 

THE WEBINAR

I will be speaking about the case in detail in a webinar on the 3rd October 2025 arranged by  the Steve Cornforth Consultancy.

“This week’s decision in Mazur v Charles Russell Speechlys has sent shock waves through the profession. This is all about what work must be done by a solicitor and what can be done by a non qualified fee earner.
·      What is meant by reserved business
·      Criminal offence… really?
·      What is meant be conducting litigation?
·      Does it mean that paralegals are finished in litigation?
·      Do we need to change everything and what do we need to change.

This is relevant to all claimant firms who use non qualified staff to manage cases.”
