Regulation, Compliance and Ethics in Law Firms

This second edition has been updated to reflect the replacement of the SRA Handbook with the new regulatory toolkit, the SRA Standards and Regulations, in order to help lawyers acknowledge and develop strategies to accommodate risk management, regulatory and legal compliance and ethical values in their business.

Review for previous edition: Great book- we have the first edition and find it very helpful.

Definitely a must-read

Regulation, Compliance and Ethics in Law Firms, Second Edition by Tracey Calvert is a well-written and concise guide to the subject. The advice is helpful whether you are a small or large firm. Sometimes though it is unclear whether the author is quoting from a source or using her own material. Having said that, a difficult subject is covered well. The case studies and examples are interesting and illuminating. There is a section on remote working and all the compliance issues coronavirus has generated. The author is correct that the success of the profession is built on its reputation – and this depends on compliance.
