SIFA Conference 2019
Era of silo-based services is over
Speaking at SIFA’s 25th anniversary
Law firm Regulatory Legal has set up an alternative business structure with a wealth manager to package up legal advice for financial advisers to provide to their clients.
The Law Society has taken the unprecedented step of urging its members to ignore the Solicitors Regulation Authority's (SRA) new rules on recommending financial advisers to clients, warning that they could expose solicitors to negligence claims.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) is to recommend that its members are allowed to refer clients to both restricted and independent advisers.
A Loughborough-based financial advisory firm is one of the first to consider moving into legal services following changes to the Legal Services Act made in January this year.
The Law Society has urged the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) to rethink proposals to allow referrals to restricted advisers, warning of a 'clear risk' to law firms.
