Webinar - Outcomes Focused Regulation

This presentation introduces the SRA Handbook of 2011 and the changes that it will bring to the operation of law firms. 

One of the major themes of the reforms is a move away from a traditional rules based compliance system in favour of a more general statement of the sorts of standards that firms should achieve - through ‘outcomes-focused regulation, or ‘OFR’ - which is examined in detail in this presentation.

Contents include:

  • The Legal Services Act
  • Alternative Business Structures and Reserved Work
  • The SRA Handbook and OFR
  • The Roles of Compliance Officers - COLP & COFA
  • The Code of Conduct
    • Principles
    • Outcomes
    • Indicative Behaviours
  • Key Changes in the New Code 
  • The Solicitors Accounts Rules
