Competition in the professions is the subject of considerable debate and development at European and national levels. The summer SCLF event, hosted by the Faculty of Advocates, will give an opportunity to examine, across a range of professions, issues such as:
- Competing considerations of safeguarding ethics and introducing liberalisation; and
- The role and limits of self regulation.
With speakers from law, medicine and accountancy, and from the European Commission, we will have a full agenda for discussion which will also be relevant to many other sectors.
