Course Aims:

This podcast is aimed at solicitors’ practices concerned about compliance issues under the new Solicitors’ Handbook 2011. It will set out how firms should go about assessing their own risk profile and what the new Handbook has to say about how risk is assessed and managed within firms. It will address the new roles of COLP and COFA and what practical systems need to be implemented to allow them to ‘cut across’ a firm’s activities. The podcast then goes on to address how the future relationship between a firm and the SRA will work in terms of reporting and compliance and what happens if risks are perceived to be hazardous to the public.
