Practice notes

To help solicitors adapt, the Law Society has published two new practice notes on:

• freelance solicitors
• solicitors offering legal services to the public from unregulated entities.

We’ve also updated our practice notes on the following topics:

• alternative business structures
• Bribery Act 2010
• client information requirements
• compliance officers
• conflict of interests
• file closure management
• information on letterheads, emails and websites
• outsourcing
• Provision of Services Regulations 2009
• setting up a practice: regulatory requirements.

Please note that our practice notes are premium content, so you’ll need to log in to My Law Society to view them.
