War, revolution and love - dazzling medieval history from a rising star

This second edition has been updated to reflect the replacement of the SRA Handbook with the new regulatory toolkit, the SRA Standards and Regulations, in order to help lawyers acknowledge and develop strategies to accommodate risk management, regulatory and legal compliance and ethical values in their business.

The book outlines the essential requirements for SRA-authorised law firms, emphasizing the necessity of appointing a Compliance Officer for Legal Practice (COLP) and a Compliance Officer for Finance and Administration (COFA). It details the regulatory responsibilities these officers must fulfill, highlighting the personal accountability they hold in ensuring compliance with legal standards within the firm.

The book explores the growing trend of in-house legal practice, highlighting its appeal for both newcomers and those transitioning from private practice. It addresses the exciting opportunities available while also emphasizing the unique challenges faced by regulated individuals in this different professional setting.
