Guides
Standing pages rather than dated analysis, each built from CILEX's and CILEx Regulation's own published documents. Where a figure comes from one of the 2,236 documents they publish, the guide says which.
- How to get a practice right Two years, three case portfolios, a logbook — what each independent practice right actually requires, taken from the regulator’s own handbooks.
- What it costs to set up a CILEX-regulated firm Every published fee for 2026, added up, for the smallest firm the regime contemplates — and what changes the number.
- How to complain about a chartered legal executive Which body handles what, the one-year rule that stops most complaints, and what the regulator can and cannot do about your money.
These are guides to what the published rules say, written by a trade publication. They are not legal advice and this site is not connected to CILEX or CILEx Regulation. Where something matters, the regulator's own document is linked and is the thing to rely on.
