Welcome to the latest issue of SRA Update.
In this edition, we are keen to get your views on our more detailed proposals for a single, independent assessment of would-be solicitors. Many of you contributed your thoughts on our earlier consultation and, as you will see, we have taken your responses on board. We also want to know what you think of our ideas around making more information available so that potential clients can choose legal services with confidence.
You might remember from our last edition that we have increasing concerns about investment scams using law firms to give them a veneer of credibility. We provide an update on what has happened, and what we have done, since September.
This continues to be a busy time for us all—I hope you can find time to catch up on some of these important issues.
Paul Philip
