Law CPD: a new course for lawyers, accountants, solicitors and finance executives

Qualified solicitors and legal professionals are required to undertake CPD (continuous professional development). CPD requirements are determined by the SRA (Solicitors’ Regulation Authority), with the CPD year running to 31 October. Solicitors are encouraged to assume responsibility for their own development by choosing from a wide range activities relevant to their professional responsibilities and personal development. All solicitors who in legal practice or employment, or who work 32 hours or more per week, are required to complete a minimum of 16 hours’ CPD per year. At least 25 per cent of the requirement must be met by participating in courses that are offered by providers authorised by the SRA and which require attendance for one hour or more.
