AML, TRANSPARENCY RULES AND ONLINE BEHAVIOUR – KEY FOCUS FROM SRA

David Green

With several announcements from the regulator on their commitment to tackling firms that are not compliant with regulations such as AML, fee transparency rules and online behaviour, firms must remain alert to some of the specific issues that can affect them and the legal sector in general.

We provided guidance on some of these issues in our recent blogs. In case you missed them, you can find links to some of them below:

Social Media Policies – Avoiding the Wrath of the SRA

More so than ever before, law firms have been getting used to a new era of communication between clients and their staff. With the rise of remote working triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the use of social media still being an ever increasing personal and professional messaging platform, law firms and their staff must understand their regulatory obligations in this area. – Read the full article here

Confirm your firm is following transparency rules

The SRA reiterated their commitment to tackling firms that are not compliant with the transparency code. They have confirmed that they will be writing to all COLPs and COFAs at the 8,000 firms they have not yet asked to do so, asking them to sign a declaration that they are adhering to the transparency rules. – Read the full article here

How regularly does your law firm update its website content with news and articles?

Google no longer allows websites to target a large range of keywords off of a single post or page. Instead, you need to be writing informative and quality content regarding these keywords so that you can target them efficiently. Read more about the power of blogging in their latest article:

How can a blog help my website get higher search engine rankings?
