The new Solicitors' Code of Conduct 2007 is in force from 1 July 2007, changing the professional conduct regime for solicitors. These changes will affect the responsibilities and obligations of every solicitor in England and Wales.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority makes and enforces the rules.
It has published the code free online at rules.sra.org.uk.
The Law Society is your representative body, so we've produced some support services to help you comply with the rules:
* Solicitors' Code of Conduct 2007 – the entire code in a book.
* Companion to the Solicitors' Code of Conduct – a book giving commentary and guidance.
* Online CPD training for the new code of conduct – online training on the code, giving 2 hours CPD.
