The SRA may decide to conduct forensic investigations, in which case it's of utmost importance to cooperate fully with them. Usually you'll be given a 72-hour notice in which you can contact a specialist, like Murdoch Solicitors, to prepare the firm prior to the investigation. This proactiveness is crucial because, as the below case studies demonstrate, it could result in a conclusion of the case or a reduction in disciplinary action.
The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) is an independent statutory body that is empowered by the Master of the Rolls to adjudicate upon the alleged misconduct of lawyers. Its 35 members, 12 of which are Lay, are drawn from a broad cross-section of society to reflect the makeup of both the profession and the public more broadly.
