SRA Solicitors
Our experienced SRA Solicitors regularly make a significant difference to other lawyers and firms who are under SRA investigation.
Richard Nelson LLP’s SRA Lawyers
The SRA Solicitors at Richard Nelson LLP have decades of experience in advising and representing solicitors facing SRA investigations. We are founder members of the Lawyers Defence Group, which also provides guidance to hundreds of firms through its newsletters.
Our SRA lawyers provide expert legal and practical advice to solicitors. We not only draw from their experience of defending solicitors before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (“SDT”), but on our own management and professional experience. Our SRA Solicitors have experience ranging between operating as a sole practitioner, managing a 1-5 partner firm, through to managing a large firm with hundreds of lawyers. We understand the strains on solicitors and will work tirelessly to protect you, your practice and your reputation.
As Solicitors ourselves, we recognise the stresses and strains placed on solicitors by modern day practice.
