The final version of the new SRA handbook is now online at www.sra.org.uk. The handbook includes the updated code of conduct, a guide to what’s new, a section for updates and advanced search options. The new regulatory approach applies to all law firms, and will apply to owners of companies who may not be lawyers when the SRA begins to regulate alternative business structures
