The Law Society
UK personal injury lawyers offer an independent and professional service which has compulsory insurance, an independent complaints
process and assured integrity and confidentiality. Solicitors must act in their clients' interests, unless this conflicts with their duty to uphold justice. A personal injury lawyer must honour undertakings even if they are not legally enforceable and they must also handle their clients' money in separate, specified accounts. There are formal institutions in place to protect clients :-
The Legal Complaints Service
The LCS is the complaints handling body, quasi-independent of the Law Society of which it is still part. The services offered to consumers are confidential and free at the point of use. The LSC can order a solicitor to reduce their bill to the client, pay the client compensation for distress, inconvenience or poor service and can order specific action by the errant solicitor.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority
The SRA is the independent regulatory body of the Law Society for more than 100,000 solicitors in England and Wales intended to regulate standards of behaviour and professional performance necessary to ensure that solicitor’s clients receive good service. The SRA is an independent part of the Law Society and refers serious breaches by solicitors to the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal. The SRA also administers the Compensation Fund to which all solitors contribute that compensates victims in the event of a solicitor’s dishonesty.
The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal
The SDT adjudicates on alleged breaches of the code of professional conduct which are designed to protect the public and maintain the reputation of the solicitors' profession for honesty, probity, trustworthiness independence and integrity. The SDT has power to strike off a solicitor from the Roll, suspend from practice, fine or reprimand.
