E-learning courses for law firm compliance
Law firms operate in one of the most highly regulated professional environments. From the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Standards and Regulations to anti-money laundering (AML) and data protection, compliance isn't just a legal requirement - it's fundamental to client trust and your professional reputation.
Our e-learning courses help you ensure that your colleagues have a clear understanding of the relevant regulations and how they apply in your workplace. They use realistic scenarios to illustrate how staff at every level in the firm can apply the rules and regulations in their day-to-day work.
Address your workplace compliance challenges
Legal firms face unique compliance risks, both in terms of scope and severity. The SRA Code of Conduct, SRA Accounts Rules, and conflicts of interest requirements create specific obligations that go far beyond what's expected in other industries. At the same time, firms must also manage broader regulatory expectations around AML, bribery prevention, data protection, equality, and cybersecurity.
This Legal sector course package helps your law firm address sector-specific compliance with four in-depth modules focused on SRA-specific regulations and microlearning modules on topics such as AML, anti-facilitating tax avoidance, avoiding bribery, equality, safeguarding and preventing sexual harassment, all customised for your teams.
