We advise solicitors on each stage of the SRA Suitability Test, including admission to the Roll, approval as a Role Holder and firm authorisation.
The SRA Suitability Test is applied at various stages of the admission and authorisation process.
Our team can advise on each stage including initial admission to the Roll, SRA approval as a Compliance Officer and firm recognition and authorisation.
We can assist in relation to proposed conditions, issues of character and suitability and procedural requirements as well as appeals against adverse decisions.
