Sarah Rapson has been appointed the next chief executive officer of the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), and will succeed Paul Philip later this year
Rapson is currently executive director, supervision at the Financial Reporting Council, and has previously worked at the Financial Conduct Authority, Home Office and HM Passport Office.
Law Society chief executive officer Ian Jeffery said Rapson was joining the SRA ‘at a critical time in its history. Restoring consumer and solicitors’ trust and confidence in the regulator following a challenging period, which has seen the collapse of Axiom Ince and SSB Law, will be vital.’
