Synopsis

In the light of major changes to the legal landscape, it is more important than ever to keep pace with the rules and regulations governing solicitors. An understanding of regulatory matters is essential not just to maintain high professional standards, but to be able to identify and deal with regulatory and disciplinary issues as and when they arise. This authoritative new handbook draws together all of the most important rules and regulations that affect solicitors.Written from the practitioner's perspective, it provides expert commentary on the practical reality of the regulatory and disciplinary environment in which solicitors operate and discusses all of the relevant decided cases in the field. Written by two recognised leading practitioners, The Solicitor's Handbook 2008 will provide insight on issues previously covered by The Guide to the Professional Conduct of Solicitors , the eighth and final edition of which was published in 1999. It also includes material that is relevant and important to the practitioner but which is not included within the formal rules (for example how money laundering, mortgage fraud and investment scams work), so that independently of the published guidance you can spot problems before they develop into loss to clients and others, damage to reputation, and regulatory interest.

Media Reviews
'The work is written with much skill by two recognised leading practitioners and draws together all of the most important rules and regulations that affect solicitors. The book is also timely. The Solicitor's Handbook 2008 brings together in a clear and convenient way all the new professional rules governing the conduct and regulation of solicitors. The authors have condensed the detailed and often complex modern regulatory rules and regulations which govern the solicitors' profession into a clear legible Handbook.' ARDL Quarterly Bulletin, July 2008
