Compliance Services For Law Firms

As a Firm develops and changes, it is necessary to keep the SRA updated and ensure that the Firm is complying with the requirements of the SRA and the Firm’s Authorisation.

From time to time, these changes will require an update, including new forms to be filled out with the SRA, or information to be provided.

Whatever the change or the reason for needing to engage with the SRA, the Regulation and Compliance Office can assist you.

If you know forms need to be completed or you are unsure and require guidance, RACO is here to provide you with the support and guidance you need.

Not keeping the SRA up to date with changes in your Firm can result in a regulatory breach, which can also have regulatory consequences on the Firm and its Owners. Understanding the action to be taken can avoid this.

Typical applications include:

• Updating the Firm’s Status from a Sole Practitioner/Partnership to an LLP or Ltd Company
• Changes to:
  • COLP
  • COFA
  • MLRO
• Changes to the Firm’s MLR 2017 authorisation.
• Annual Returns and Practising Certificate Renewal.
• Filing a Self Report.
• Emergency COLP/COFA Applications

Whatever the need to update the SRA, RACO can guide you through the appropriate steps and assist with the application process through to completion.
