I move amendment No. 164:

In page 67, between lines 22 and 23 but in Part 7, to insert the following:
“Letter of engagement
80. A legal practitioner who is a partner in or an employee of a multi-disciplinary practice shall not provide legal services to a client of the multi-disciplinary practice unless he or she provides the client with a notice in writing which shall—(a) specify the services to be provided to the client by the multi-disciplinary practice,
(b) specify which of the services referred to in paragraph (a) are to be provided by a legal practitioner,
(c) specify which of the services referred to in paragraph (a) are services other than legal services,
(d) specify which (if any) of the services referred to in paragraph (a) are services to which section 21 (as amended by section 29 of the Solicitors (Amendment) Act 1994) of the Solicitors (Amendment) Act 1960 applies, and
(e) provide such additional information as may be prescribed.”.
