The Law Society is hosting a free webinar to help law firms understand the implications of the Mazur judgment on who can conduct litigation and what this means in practice.
The live online session will be hosted by Juliet Oliver (Managing Director of Stratify) and chaired by Richard Miller (Head of Justice, the Law Society of England and Wales).
Join the Law Society on Monday 3 November 2025, between 12 to 1 pm, to understand the implications of the Mazur judgment on who can conduct litigation and what this means in practice.
This live online session will also offer attendees the opportunity to ask questions about the interpretation of the judgment.
The High Court’s judgment in Mazur v Charles Russell Speechlys, considered whether a non-authorised person is entitled to conduct litigation under the supervision of an authorised person.
Following the judgment, the Law Society of England and Wales published a new practice note for solicitors practising litigation.*
