To assist Law firms and Solicitors in addressing these compliance issues, we have developed a range of courses to address each specific SRA identified risk. These one-hour courses are applicable to all solicitors, as each individual is responsible for complying with the requirements of the SRA Handbook, and the managers of each firm responsible for the overall compliance of their individual firms.
Compliance Officers for Legal Practice (COLPs) and for Finance and Administration (COFAs) will find these courses of particular interest as their role is to champion the role of compliance and good risk management within their firms. These courses may be integrated within existing processes to ensure that individuals are given sufficient information to comply with the SRA Handbook.
The topics will include:
- Access to legal services;
- Cybersecurity;
- Diversity in the profession;
- Information security;
- Integrity and ethics;
- Investment schemes;
- Managing claims;
- Money laundering;
- Protecting client money; and
- Standards of service.
