SRA Solicitors
Solicitors SRA Disciplinary
Solicitors are subject to regulation like any other professional. An investigation by the Solicitors Regulation Authority is a serious matter, and despite your legal knowledge, independent advice is vital. We have years of experience dealing with the SRA and our specialist SRA solicitors can assist you if you are under investigation.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority has a wide range of powers, and can take any of the following actions:
- A casework decision;
- A letter of advice;
- A finding and warning;
- A rebuke;
- A financial penalty up to £2000;
- A referral to the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal – but only if the evidential and public interest test is met.
If a matter is sent to the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal, and there is a finding against you, that can:
- Strike you off;
- Suspend you;
- Impose an unlimited fine;
- Make you pay the costs of the tribunal.
Monarch’s team of expert solicitors can give you advice and representation at a tribunal; defend you against investigations; negotiate agreements; and make application for restoration on to the roll of solicitors.
