Law Society urges profession to give views on ‘dramatic’ change

The Solicitors Regulation Authority’s proposed reforms to the SRA handbook and accounts rules risk ‘weakening client protection’ and ‘damaging the reputation of the solicitor profession both at home and abroad’, the Law Society has warned.

The Society has urged solicitors to give feedback on the changes, and has released guidance, case studies and a template submission to help solicitors.
