NO SOLICITOR SHOULD BE WITHOUT THIS FORMIDABLE ANNUAL HANDBOOK –
NOW A NEW EDITION FROM THE LAW SOCIETY

An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers

As publishers of ‘The Solicitor’s Handbook 2017’, the Law
Society refers to ‘the regulatory maze that governs the conduct of solicitors’, adding in effect that the said burden of regulation can be eased considerably by judicious use of – and reference to – this annual Handbook. As their profession is so heavily regulated, (within a constantly changing regulatory landscape), this new edition should be regarded by solicitors as virtually a compulsory purchase.

Since the previous edition came out, a considerable number of regulatory changes have taken place. This new edition contains explanatory coverage of all of them, with accompanying commentary citing practical problems by way of illustration.

The wealth of new material in this completely updated and very handy paperback volume includes – and this is only a partial list -- changes to the separate business rule, together with key changes to consumer credit regulation and the significance of these changes for firms.

Additionally, there is commentary on the overhaul of the Accounts Rules and the likely move by the SRA from entity regulation to regulation of individuals. Also note the important new section on cyber fraud.

A distinguishing and certainly reassuring characteristic of the book is its clarity. Yes, the efficient plain English, plain speaking approach permeates the Handbook, much to the relief, no doubt of the busy solicitor who has precious little time to untangle convoluted sentences.

Whether you work for -- or run-- a small law firm, a large law firm, or an in-house practice, you can depend on this Handbook to help you navigate the ‘regulatory maze’ successfully, provided you read it carefully of course.

It has been logically designed to help you ensure compliance by avoiding a host of potential pitfalls and any number of innocent mistakes. To this end, you might be especially interested, for example, in the sections on the regulation of ABSs (Alternative Business Structures) and on fraud and money laundering.

Also useful are the twenty appendices and the extensive tables of cases, statutes, statutory instruments and other enactments, plus a table of European legislation and other international materials. No solicitor should be without this Handbook.

The law is stated as at 30 June 2016.
