Codes of Conduct
The SRA Codes of Conduct and the SRA Accounts rules alongside the
SRA principles provide the requirements and expectations of law firms to run and manage a compliant firm.
The approach adopted by a firm must be documented and must be evidenced through a series of policies, procedures, and registers which reflect how a firm operates. Delivering a bespoke documented process is an absolute requirement.
The Strategic Partner works with firms to provide a complete package of documents processes and policies which ensure a firm achieves a compliant environment that is communicated to all staff and evidenced through appropriate reporting mechanisms.

Codes of Conduct – The Detail
Whilst, in the latest version of the Codes of conduct, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has simplified the rules, the application of these and ensuring a large firm and its staff operate a fully compliant structure remains a time-consuming process.
One of the by-products of simplifying rules is that it makes the policing of these much clearer and it remains essential that law firms consider, interpret, and apply the rules without deviation to ensure they achieve a fully compliant status.
At The Strategic Partner, we work with firms to review, update, manage, maintain and evidence their approach to compliance in a way that ensures the policies and procedures run seamlessly through the firm operating in harmony with the way the firm is managed and services delivered.
A successful compliance structure will enable firms to achieve the goal of being compliant whilst not impacting on the day to day management of the firm and delivery of the services it provides.
