Legal Services Regulation Forum

A thorough examination of the latest developments in Legal Services, chaired by Iain Miller, Bevan Brittan

Introduction

In the last 12 months there has been a series of significant developments that will have far-reaching implications for the legal sector. With the new SRA Handbook due to be published in April this year and the first ABSs expected to appear on the market in October, it is imperative that you are up to date on all the latest regulatory and commercial developments. Failure to do so may result in loss of market share and even the demise of your practice.

Chaired by Iain Miller, Bevan Brittan, this comprehensive one day programme will enable you to keep up-to-date with the latest outcomes-focused regulation to ensure compliance with the new regime. Our panel of leading authorities will offer you practical take-home advice which will enable you to answer the following key questions: 

  • How does the SRA see the regulatory environment changing over the next 12 months?
  • What constitutes indicative behaviours?
  • How will ABSs work on a regulatory level and what impact will they have on the market?
  • What will be the role of the new Compliance Officer for Legal Practice?
  • Why is the legal market so vulnerable to branded providers?
