Solicitors
24 Mar 2011Solicitors in the United Kingdom are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). The SRA is the regulatory body of the law society in England and Wales and they regulate solicitors and solicitor practices.
The SRA sets out the Solicitors Code of Conduct for practicing solicitors. Examples include acting in the client’s best interest, acting with integrity, upholding the rule of law and the proper administration of justice, providing a good service to clients, etc. The SRA also deal with complaints and regulatory matters concerning the conduct and behavior of solicitors.
With the fast advancement of technology, enquiries can be made to a solicitor over the internet. Various law websites now offer a page where clients fill in an enquiry form with a short description of their problem and within the hour they will get a response for a solicitor from a law firm. The client can then decide if they want to proceed with the matter. Once the fees and details of the enquiry have been discussed and agreed the solicitor will assist the client with the enquiry.
