Product Description
Product Description
The Solicitor's Handbook 2012 is a comprehensive yet user-friendly guide to the regulatory maze that governs the conduct of solicitors. With effect from 6 October 2011, there has been a major change in the way in which solicitors are regulated. This authoritative guide takes into account all of the significant changes, including: the move to outcomes-focused regulation with the introduction of the new SRA Handbook the advent of alternative business structures a full review of the new Code and the SRA Handbook with guidance and new provisions the new powers of the SRA and the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal the obligation of all firms to appoint a compliance officer for legal practice (COLP) and a compliance officer for finance and administration (COFA). This invaluable resource includes expert commentary that usefully highlights where the new regime introduces changes from the old Code of Conduct and provides practical suggestions as to how solicitors can best achieve compliance with the principles, outcomes and indicative behaviours that underpin OFR. The commentary has been substantially expanded for this edition with the inclusion of seven additional chapters, including new chapters on the principles and Code of Conduct, the regulation of ABSs, entity or firm-based authorisation and regulation, new appeal rules and more.
About the Author
Andrew Hopper QC was admitted as a solicitor in 1972 and was appointed Queen's Counsel in 2001 (the fifth solicitor advocate to be appointed Silk and the first outside the City of London). He is described in Chambers UK (2007) as "the oracle of all things relating to solicitors' disciplinary proceedings". He has specialised in the field of professional regulation and discipline since 1979. Gregory Treverton-Jones QC, barrister-at-law, of 39 Essex Street, was called to the Bar in 1977, and was appointed Queen's Counsel in 2002. He has practised in the field of professional discipline and regulation since the early 1990s. He has been instructed in many of the leading cases arising out of the professional conduct of solicitors, appearing both for and against the Law Society in applications for judicial review, statutory appeals, and challenges to interventions. He is described in Legal 500 2009 as 'the leading barrister in solicitors' disciplinary work'.

THIS LATEST EDITION FROM THE LAW SOCIETY
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
If you find yourself somewhat bemused by the `regulatory maze that governs the conduct of solicitors' - as the Law Society quite rightly calls it, then acquiring `The Solicitors Handbook 2012' from Law Society Publishing should really be your first priority, especially in view of all the changes taking place.
`We have had to grapple with an entirely new Code of Conduct,' say the authors, (and) `a new suite of Rules forming the SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority) Handbook and a wholly new way of delivering legal services through alternative business structures (ABSs).' This new edition for 2012 has therefore been `entirely re-cast'. As Hopper and Treverton-Jones also point out, it separates regulation from discipline and adds a new section on ABSs.
The authors, however, urge solicitors not to throw away their old editions of the Solicitor's Handbook, because, with the numerous changes that have taken place in recent years, they still need to know what rule was in place when.
This 2012 edition of the Handbook is nonetheless a must-have purchase which takes into account all the important changes including, for example, the matter of outcomes-focused regulation... the advent of alternative business structures... and the new powers of the SRA and the Solicitors Disciplinary tribunal.
There's a full review of the new Code and the SRA Handbook and an examination of obligation of all firms to appoint a compliance officer for legal practice (COLP) and a compliance officer for finance and administration (COFA).
As you would expect, the commentary is authoritative, expert and refreshingly reader-friendly. There are practical suggestions as to the best way to achieve compliance within the new regulatory and disciplinary landscape. The seven new chapters in this edition include chapters on the principles and Code of Conduct, the regulation of ABSs and more besides.
Besides the 18 appendices, there are extensive tables of cases, statutes, statutory instruments. There's also a table of European legislation and other materials and a table of other enactments. All this, and the substantial range of detail covered, makes this handbook an invaluable resource for every solicitor. The law is stated as at 31 October 2011.
