Anna Bradley has been reappointed as the chair of the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Board for a second three-year term, up to December 2024

During Bradley’s tenure, the SRA has delivered a range of reforms, including its new Standards and Regulations and the SRA Transparency Rules, with the Solicitors Qualifying Examination due to go live later this year.

She said: ‘I am delighted to be reappointed as Chair at what is an important time for the sector, not least as we consider the longer-term implications of the COVID-19 pandemic and the UK exit from the EU. The SRA has made good progress in delivering an ambitious reform programme.’
