1071th 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: Small firms are to receive more support from the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). New SRA chief executive Paul Philip announced plans to boost support for smaller firms when the regulator sets out its reform programme in May, in a speech at the SRA national conference for compliance officers in Birmingham this week. It will begin with a discussion paper to investigate issues affecting smaller firms. SRA suggestions so far include a small firm page on the SRA website, a dedicated helpline and resources to help firms with specific issues such as opening a small practice.

27th November - Law News

1067th 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: The Solicitors Regulation Authority has vowed to end the perception it is indifferent to small firms with a host of new policy initiatives. The regulator admitted some small firms and sole practitioners believe it does not understand the issues associated with running a small business and acts more in the interests of larger firms. According to SRA figures, there remain 2,170 sole practitioner firms – 21% of the entire legal market – which had turnover of less than £200,000 last year. Including other firms with similar income, this group makes up more than one-third of all regulated entities. Full story - The Law Society Gazette
