Description
Every legal practice must have a compliance officer for legal practice (COLP).
The COLPs Toolkit contains the essential checklists, forms, policies and other documentation that a COLP needs to perform their role in a handy single volume.
The 3rd edition has been updated to reflect the SRA Standards & Regulations, introduced in November 2019, as well as other legislative and regulatory changes introduced since the last edition, such as the EU GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
The accompanying CD-ROM contains documents that you can customise for use in your own firm.
This book is essential to assist practitioners in demonstrating due diligence and remaining compliant with the new Standards and Regulations.
