· Under the Access to Justice Act 1999 barristers have the ability to do litigation and the preliminary work in starting a case which previously was done solely by Solicitors. Plus Solicitors can represent a client in all courts; they have wider rights of advocacy.
· Legal Services Act 2007 allows barristers and solicitors to work in the same legal business.
· There is no need for fusion
