The SRA Code of Conduct requires firms to deal with the SRA in an open, timely and co-operative manner.
Legal Compliance Consultants can advise firms that are subject to an investigation and liaise with the SRA on the firm’s behalf.
Also, where firms are subject to a SRA AML audit (onsite or desk-based), we can ensure that the firm’s AML policies, controls and procedures and Firm Wide Risk Assessments are compliant with SRA requirements and the MLRs.
Performing the role of a COLP or COFA of a law firm need not be daunting or onerous. By outsourcing to Legal Compliance Consultants, firms can ensure they are ‘Keeping Compliance in Check’.
Legal Compliance Consultants have supported firms in making an application to achieve or maintain the Law Society’s Quality Service Standards such as Lexcel or CQS, as well as the Legal Aid Agency’s SQM Standard.
Legal Compliance Consultants can support firms by providing in-house training to all staff to meet any learning and development needs. Legal Compliance Consultants are pleased to be able to offer a range of courses.
Legal Compliance Consultants can assist firms by implementing a system for file reviews and conduct onsite independent file review and compliance audits, including AML audits.
Legal Compliance Consultants have a 100% success rate assisting Solicitors, Barristers and other Non-Lawyer Investors in making applications to the SRA for authorisation to practice.
Legal Compliance Consultants can provide firms with a comprehensive Office Procedures Manual tailored to the size and nature of their firm.
