SRA launches consultation - Achieving the right outcomes

Posted by admin on 22 January 2010

According to the SRA website "Outcomes-focused regulation is how the SRA will operate from next year, concentrating on the high-level principles governing practice and the quality of outcomes for clients, rather than tick-box compliance with rules.

"This [consultation] paper explains how the SRA intends to transform the regulation of solicitors and the organisations in which they work, and invites the engagement of consumer groups, the profession, and all those with an interest in legal services in the debate about how we deliver it."

Topics such as the Legal Services Act, Alternative Business Structures, the SRA approach to regulations, Code of Conduct, support for law firms, and similar are all covered and make for an interesting read.

If you want to take part in the consultation, you can do so on the Solicitors Regulation Authority website.
