The Law Society: Solicitor v. The Establishment

by Frederick Wright

Author Frederick Wright (not his real name) qualified as a solicitor in 1987. His first post was as a property lawyer in a London, West End firm. He then became the in-house commercial property solicitor for a UK government undertaking, a role he held for ten years, with an eventual remit to sell all their remaining property portfolio. Job done, in 1999 he returned to private practice as a locum solicitor dealing with commercial and residential property. For the next ten years Frederick Wright proceeded to work for 24 different firms, as a locum, in London and the Home Counties on short-term and long-term assignments. From 2010 - 2014 he worked as a solicitor in Lincoln's Inn. In March 2007 Frederick Wright made the news in the Law Society Gazette after a bitter dispute with the Law Society over the right to highlight poor standards of conveyancing practice in the profession, including the bullying of locums. The first part of this book reports on that story - how Frederick Wright risked his career to expose the profession's shortcomings and came out a winner. In March 2011 Frederick Wright took on the might of the Norwegian government in the High Court in London in a case that centred on religious bigotry in Norway. The case continues in 2020 at the Court of Appeal. In the same week as his judgment was set aside in the High Court Frederick Wright's opponents, the Ministry of Justice and the Police in Norway, had their headquarters in Oslo blown up by Anders Behring Breivik who then proceeded to kill 69 people on Ut ya Island. We discover who 'Frederick Wright' really is. This decade long legal epic is detailed in the second part of this book which exposes the tricks and manoeuvrings of the Norwegian and British judiciary when trying to overcome an outsider standing up for free speech and the right to voice unpalatable home truths.
