The SRA Transparency Rules came into effect on 6 December 2018. They require all firms authorised and regulated by the SRA to display specified information on their websites if they provide certain types of legal services. The purpose of the Transparency Rules is to ensure people have accurate and relevant information about a solicitor or firm when they are considering purchasing legal services. They are intended to help members of the public and small businesses make informed choices, improving competition in the legal market. On 25 November 2019, it became mandatory for firms to display the SRA’s digital badge.
The firm has failed to display the SRA digital badge from 25 November 2019 until 29 September 2022 on its website in breach of rule 4.1 of the SRA Transparency Rules.
