Under the new transparency rules issued by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, law firms who provide particular types of services are required to publish information relating to those services including information about the lawyers who will be carrying out the work as well as certain costs information.
The rules aim to ensure that you have accurate and relevant information about us when you are purchasing legal services (or when you are considering doing so) and they aim to help members of the public and small businesses make informed choices, thereby improving competition in the legal market.
