Cardiff & District Law Society invite professionals across the legal sector to an online discussion event on a current SRA consultation: client money in legal services.
Following earlier engagement on the consumer protection review discussion paper, the SRA has launched a consultation – Client money in legal services: safeguarding consumers and providing redress. The consultation is in three parts:
- the model of solicitors holding client money
- protecting the client money that solicitors hold
- delivering and paying for a sustainable compensation fund.
Speakers
- Kelly-Anne Smith-Sinclair, Policy Manager, Solicitors Regulation Authority
- Liz Withers, Head of Welsh Affairs and Consumer Policy, Solicitors Regulation Authority
- Clive Thomas, Council Member & National Board for Wales member, The Law Society
- Q&A Chair: Jonathan Marsh, Regulatory Officer, Cardiff & District Law Society
What to expect
The SRA will stimulate discussion around three or four areas arising out of their consultation and attendees will hear from Clive Thomas on the concerns regarding the consultation itself and effect of any further restrictions on the holding of client monies, followed by a Q and A chaired by Jonathan Marsh, Regulatory officer for Cardiff & District Law Society.
It is important that the SRA hears and understands your views on such an important issue for the profession.
This will be a great event for you to have your say and for those who wish to find out more and submit a consultation response before 21 February 2025.
