Practising certificate fees confirmed

The Solicitors Regulation Authority has confirmed the level of practising certificate fees

The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has confirmed the level of practising certificate fees.

For the first time this year there is a combination of individual and firm fees. Firms are banded and will pay according to turnover.
Every solicitor, recognised European lawyer and recognised foreign lawyer seeking to register will pay a fee of £428. There will be reduced fees for those on maternity leave.

Registered foreign lawyers based mainly outside England and Wales will pay a reduced registration fee of £100.
In examples given by the SRA, a firm with a turnover of £813,421 would pay a fee of £5,250, and a firm with a turnover of £279,123,528 would pay £576,194.

More information and a table of fees for firms are available on the SRA website at www.sra.org.uk.
