Watch now: SRA 'fair treatment' rules

9 Jan 2024

In this video, Daniel Sutherland, Aron Pope and Grace Waterhouse from our professional services and employment teams explore the Solicitors Regulation Authority’s (SRA) ‘fair treatment’ rules.

The rules apply to both individuals and firms, requiring them to treat colleagues and those working for them fairly and with respect and not to bully or harass them or discriminate unfairly against them. Our lawyers offer their expertise on the implications of these rules for individuals and firms, what to be aware of and how to proactively mitigate falling foul of the rules.
