Solicitors Regulation Authority (UK and Ireland)

The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) is the regulatory body for solicitors in England and Wales. It ensures that solicitors meet professional standards, protecting the public and maintaining trust in the legal profession. The SRA oversees the training, conduct, and discipline of solicitors, ensuring they act ethically and competently. It also handles complaints against solicitors and enforces rules to keep the legal market fair. While the SRA operates in England and Wales, the regulation of solicitors in Ireland is managed separately by the Law Society of Ireland.
