ILEX given royal seal of approval

updated on 25 October 2011

The Queen has granted ILEX the Royal Charter - recognition of it being a body that works in the public interest, and that demonstrates pre-eminence, stability and permanence in its field.

Rarely granted these days, the charter means that ILEX Fellows will be able to call themselves 'chartered legal executives', which is a protected title. The institute also feels that its chartered status - which will come into effect towards the end of the year - will encourage more people from all backgrounds to enter the legal sector.

ILEX president, Susan Silver, said: "We are delighted to have been awarded a Royal Charter. This recognition affirms the quality and integrity of the legal executive qualification and the important role our members play in the provision of legal services." Justice Minister Jonathan Djanogly said: "This is an exciting step forward for ILEX and is important for increasing public recognition of their role in the legal services market."

This is more good news for ILEX, following on from Nick Clegg's affirmation of ILEX as one of the keys to social diversity in the legal profession.
