Cordery on Legal Services is the authority on every aspect of professional conduct, obligations and liability; relied on by the legal profession for over 100 years for expert advice and guidance.
Those consulting Cordery will be able to find the answer whether they are individuals concerned with matters personal to them, such as the rules of conduct related to solicitors, or whether they are the managers of ABSs exploring compliance issues affecting the business, and with a need to understand the regulatory regimes relating to lawyers from different disciplines.
Cordery on Legal Services includes all the law relating to the regulation of the supply of legal services, whatever the business model used to provide them, or the status of the individual professional or employee. As well as covering the overarching regulation provided by the Legal Services Board and the cross-professional redress system provided by the Legal Ombudsman, Cordery also includes appropriate references to all forms of regulation under the Legal Services Act 2007, so that there are sections on the Bar, licensed conveyancers, legal executives, costs lawyers and others, as well as the traditional coverage of the law relating to solicitors.
Its useful cross-referencing between materials and narrative enables quick and easy access to every aspect of legal regulation, while offering comprehensive coverage of all the relevant rules, regulations and guidlines.
Cordery on Legal Services both reflects the characteristics of modern practice and provides coverage of the latest developments in the regulation of legal services.
