Introduction

The Horizon scandal and the Post Office public enquiry have pushed the previously anonymous role of in-house solicitors to the front and centre of public consciousness and concern.

It is more important now than it ever has been that in-house solicitors understand their regulatory obligations and the importance of balancing those obligations against the duty owed to a single client who pays their wages.

This webinar will explore the fundamental regulatory obligations of all solicitors and how the SRA see those regulations applying to in-house solicitors.

It will look at some of the areas where conflicts can arise and how in-house lawyers can protect themselves.

In addition, this webinar will look at what directors and senior managers should expect from their in-house legal team and how they can maximise the benefits of having effective professional legal advice at their disposal.

What You Will Learn

This webinar will cover the following:

  • The competing demands of the SRA Principles and Codes of Conduct
  • The integrity test
  • The obligation to self-report
  • Managing own-interest conflict
  • Confidentiality and LPP
  • Responding to an SRA investigation
  • The role of an in-house solicitor in supporting an organisation
  • Recent cases

This pre-recorded webinar will be available to view from Tuesday 1st April 2025
