CRACKING COMPLIANCE

A new solicitors’ practice will specialise in helping law firms with compliance and regulatory matters. The launch of the service—which will initially offer its services through the website www.lawcompliance.co.uk—coincides with the coming into force of the new Solicitors’ Code of Conduct. Areas covered by the company will include all aspects of the code, as well as money laundering and data protection. Founding director, Simon Young, who has written and lectured on compliance issues, says: “The whole area of compliance is changing so fast people are bewildered. Most firms simply won’t have the resources to keep up without help.”
