This new title engages law staff and those in prominent associated roles in confident regulatory practice, by detailing the legislative framework sitting behind the Solicitors Regulation Authority's (SRA) regulations. The legal discussion is accompanied in each section by a separate practical discussion of:

  • the management issues arising from the legislation
  • possible solutions for implementation within firms
  • regulatory debates
  • analysis of the possible gaps

The book focuses on practice as an annual event, covering the need to renew, and the idea behind returning to the regulator for authorisation each year. With an in-depth look at practising certificate conditions and the overall management of legal risk; the focus of the calendar year will also draw out other reporting events. With specific content for solicitors, reporting accountants, law firm managers, freelancers, non-regulated firms employing solicitors, registered European lawyers, registered Foreign lawyers, and those subject to other competing forms of regulation, the book reflects and describes legal risk for all forms of modern legal practice. As part of the management discussion for firms it also covers strategic decision making for firms and the different regulatory and risk management outcomes of setting up a practice in different ways.
