Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, grade: commendation, University of London, language: English, abstract: Lawyers may be trusted to the ends of the earth. This statement might not reflect the public opinion anymore. The scandals around lawyers and their legal opinions in the wake of the financial crisis and the publication of the Panama Papers raised the questions, if lawyers satisfy their clients ignoring risks and whether outcomes-focused regulation allows these risks to be ignored due to its wide scope. To answer these questions, this essay will first explain the role of the lawyer to satisfy clients needs (2.) with regard to the limitations of satisfying the clients needs (3.) and the risks involved with the dissatisfaction and satisfaction of clients needs (4.). Following on from these risks, the essay will look at the definition of outcomes-focused regulation and its aim (5.) and whether this approach allows ignoring the risks (6.). This assessment will focus in particular on the guidance to transactions lawyers in commercial practise. For this purpose a transaction lawyer is a solicitor who gives legal advice on a transaction, but does not conduct advocacy.
