About Legal Executives

What are the Opportunities?

Professional responsibilities increase with experience and Fellows of ILEX are likely to become one of the main points of contact for clients seeking professional advice on legal matters.

Professional rights awarded to Fellows include the following:

  • They may act as Commissioners for Oaths
  • With extended rights of audience in civil and matrimonial proceedings, Legal Executive Advocates can now represent their clients in the county courts and Magistrates' Courts, which enables them to manage the case from start to finish.
  • ILEX is an authorised body under the Access to Justice Act 1999 to award litigation rights to suitably qualified members. This will enable them to issue proceedings in their own name. A working party has been set up to develop the framework for the litigation rights scheme.
  • An extended remit of Legal Executives to advise on Compromise Agreements. Fellows of ILEX employed by solicitors practices' and specialising in employment law have these benefits.
