The regulation of solicitors is changing (again) in 2019. The Solicitors' Code of Conduct 2007 was replaced with the SRA Principles 2011. In 2019 we must change again as the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) require compliance with a totally new regime. This book is about helping law firms adapt to the latest regulatory landscape. It provides concise guides on each of the core SRA Principles 2019, the Code for Solicitors 2019 (the Individual Code), the Code for Law Firms (the Firm Code) which are due to come into force during the first half of 2019. The SRA standards and regulations alone will not explain the SRA's expectations of you and your law firm - they are too brief. The commentary on these is intended to help you apply the generic wording applying for all firms in England and Wales in practice. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Paul Bennett is a Solicitor, Mediator and Arbitrator who advises on SRA regulatory, Anti-Money Laundering, employment and partnership law in the specialist Professional Practice Team at Aaron & Partners LLP until the end of February 2019 and then is launching Bennett Briegal LLP with a colleague to support law firms nationally within a niche law firm setting.
