Description
Early 2012 sees the biggest change to the regulation of legal services for a generation. For the first time the services of solicitors and other legal professionals can be provided by organisations that are not themselves owned by lawyers. These changes will affect all law firms as the entire regulatory framework will be changed to accommodate these new structures. Alternative Business Structures examines the regulatory framework and looks at: the requirements for authorisation ongoing monitoring and compliance enforcement.
