The Legal Services Act, 2020 (the “LSA”) was gazetted on 7 January 2021 and is expected to come into force once the Regulations have been finalised and a commencement order issued before the end of February this year. The LSA has been a long time in the making. The legislation seeks to repeal and replace the Legal Practitioners Act (2015 Revision); to regulate the practice of Cayman Islands law; to provide for a system of legal education; to provide for a system to deal with professional misconduct; and for incidental and connected purposes.
