SRA
What is the SRA check?
A SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority) Check verifies an individual's status and standing with the Solicitors Regulation Authority. This check ensures that the individual is registered to practice law in the UK and is in good standing with the SRA, free from any disciplinary actions or sanctions.
The purpose of the SRA Check is to help organisations ensure that they are hiring or working with legal professionals who meet the regulatory and ethical standards required to practice law. This check reviews SRA records to identify any issues related to professional misconduct or breaches of legal standards.
By performing an SRA Check, organisations can make more informed decisions when hiring legal professionals, ensuring compliance with industry standards and safeguarding against reputational or legal risks that may arise from employing individuals with disciplinary issues.
