Description

In-house lawyers often are an afterthought to most regulatory discussions. This is arguably true of the SRA Standards and Regulations, in force from 25 November 2019.

However, the SRA have recently published their resources to back up their thinking on the STARs, and the section on in-house lawyers repays some thought and consideration.

This webinar will look at the various roles and the various guidance notes that the SRA have issued, guiding the in-house community through the various considerations.

Delivered by compliance consultant Trevor Hellawell, this webinar will look at the following topics:

• The role of in-house lawyers

o In commercial environments, advising their employer

o In the not-for profit sector, advising their employing body

o When acting for members of the public

• Client care?

• Reserved activities

• PI Insurance – ‘adequate and appropriate’ cover

• The issue of undertakings

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
