Regulation, risk and compliance - Is your firm fully prepared for changes? (The Law Society)
various dates through September 2008
various locations
CPD Hours: 2
The Legal Services Act 2007 introduces major changes to the legal landscape. In particular, the arrival of the Solicitors Regulation Authority has altered the approach to regulaton and further changes are likely. The new Code of Conduct is already being amended to enable the establishment of Legal Disciplinary Practices and the introduction of firm-based regulation. It is vital for all solicitors to understand and keep pace with the rules and regulations governing the profession. Firms must act now to ensure that they are fully prepared to deal swiftly and effectively with disciplinary and regulatory matters in a rapidly changing world.
