Companion to the Solicitors' Code of Conduct 2007

The Solicitors' Code of Conduct 2007 affects all solicitors in England and Wales. It introduces key changes in a number of areas, including client relations, conflict of interest, client confidentiality, supervision and management. This companion volume provides commentary and guidance on the new Code to help practitioners understand the nature of the changes that it has introduced and to counter the practical problems that may occur. Easy to navigate and comprehensive, this invaluable supplementary resource: offers a chapter on each new rule, following the same structure as the Code for easy cross-referencing; analyses each new rule compared to the old in order to identify differences; and, highlights areas covered in the previous set of rules but not covered in the new Code. Ensure that you understand the changes and are compliant with the Code with this handy and concise guide. This volume does not include the full text of the Code itself.
