Who Keeps Lawyers in Line?
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009As with most sectors, UK solicitors have an independent body overseeing their activities and ensuring they behave themselves. But in a recent poll conducted by ComRes, most people don’t know who this regulator is.
Apparently, this was interpreted as “a clear indication that the public do not feel they have a body to which they can turn in relation to legal services”.
Many thought it was the Law Society, and most who made a guess said it was the government. Are you one of the few people who knows its in fact the Solicitors Regulation Authority? The SRA commissioned the poll and are likely to be planning some marketing and brand awareness workshops as we write.
