FAQ 175:

175. Are legal services received during a dispute resolution covered by the Legal Services General Licence INT/2025/7323088?

Yes. On 17 December 2025, the Legal Services General Licence INT/2025/7323088 was amended to clarify that legal advice and/or representation in dispute resolution is included in the definition of “Legal Services”.

This was first clarified in a version of the Legal Services General Licence issued 28 March 2025 (INT/2024/5334756). It was not captured in the subsequent issue of the expired General Licence: INT/2025/6160920 dated 28 April 2025, and although not included in the original version of the current Legal Services General Licence INT/2025/7323088 (due to expire 28 April 2026), this has now been amended.
