CILEX (the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives) has strengthened its position as the body that champions specialist legal professionals by acquiring the Institute of Paralegals (IoP) and its Professional Paralegal Register (PPR).
IoP chief executive Rita Leat, who is also managing director of the PPR, will work with CILEX as a special adviser during 2023 to advise on the transition and to support IoP and PPR members and their employers to take advantage of the benefits of this change. The National Paralegal Awards will continue, as will the PPR.
