Will “business and human rights” become part of legal training in England and Wales? [UK]
[The] Law Society (of England and Wales)…recommended that business and human rights become part of legal training requirements and continued professional development…While I do think it is a positive development I can see how this is not going to be unanimously welcomed…and it will be down to the business and human rights community to do our best to convince them otherwise…Documents such as the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s Guide to Business and Human Rights addressed directly to businesses...are relevant for all businesses and therefore it is not unrealistic to expect solicitors to be able to advise clients on these issues.
