SRA in 2016

Research into the personal injury market, criminal practice, vulnerable consumers, the value of the training contract and work-based learning and diversity and career progression will form the basis of the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) programme for 2016. The SRA will also look at risk management in firms, enforcement action and what makes a credible deterrent, and review prior regulatory changes, it has said in a statement on its future research programme. Crispin Passmore, SRA executive director for policy, says: “We have set out an ambitious programme.”
