How much does it cost to get approval for a non-lawyer manager?
The fee to apply to the SRA for approval for a non-lawyer manager is £250. You also need to pay for the Criminal Records Bureau check. Generally, approval will not need to be renewed, although an approval could be withdrawn by the SRA, and will lapse if a
non-lawyer ceases for two years to be a
manager in a
recognised body.
