On the 25th November 2019, the SRA’s Handbook 2011 was replaced with the SRA’s Standards and Regulations.
The new rules are significantly shorter with the focus squarely on requiring high professional standards from both the individuals and firm’s regulated by the SRA. Underlying their introduction is a move away from the 2011 “one size fits all” approach to one that recognises the value of each solicitor’s professional judgement to ensure that standards are upheld and public protections are maintained.
