The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has launched a ‘one stop shop’ webpage of resources to help law firms prepare for the introduction of its Standards and Regulations on 25 November.
The page, at www.sra.org.uk/newregs, features videos, infographics, links and guidance materials. It reminds firms with a website that use of the SRA clickable logo will become a mandatory requirement from 25 November.
Paul Philip, chief executive of the SRA, said: ‘The new Standards and Regulations are designed to make life easier for firms. We have removed unnecessary bureaucracy, while protecting the public and providing a clear focus on what really matters—the high professional standards that have to be at the heart of every solicitor’s practice.’
The SRA also confirmed it will be using the term ‘freelance solicitors’ to describe individual solicitors who work on their own.
