1030th Edition: LawNewsIndex is a UK based Law, Justice, Legislation & Rights related daily news & legal articles archive brought to you by TheLawMap


FOCUS OF THE DAY: Magic circle firms have released their salary figures for trainees and associates in 2014/15, but the increases are not enough to match the power of US firms’ wallets. The winter of salary freezes is well and truly over. This year’s figures point to an overall increase in pay packets for trainees and associates. All good news, except that the price comparison war no longer just involves big UK firms. Full story - The Lawyer

FOCUS OF THE DAY: Family lawyers who advise clients on the financial aspects of their divorces, and firms involved in debt recovery work, may have to be authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in future. The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) says it is aware of more than 1,100 firms that carry out debt recovery, one area of consumer credit work. Solicitors could require FCA authorisation if they discuss finance with a divorce client and negotiate terms with creditors on behalf of that client for settlement of a joint debt. A solicitor advising on a property deal who seeks to amend information held by a credit information agency about their client’s financial standing would also be caught.
