Solicitors have adapted well to the regulatory requirements known as ‘Continuing Competence’ introduced in 2016, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) says.
It reports that two out of five firms have increased the amount of learning and development support on offer, and most firms reported a reduction in the cost of learning and development by better focussing activity on specific roles and teams. Paul Philip, SRA chief executive, said: ‘Keeping up to date is a fundamental part of how solicitors ensure they are delivering a good quality of service to their clients.’
