This is a unique innovative resource, which will assist practising solicitors and solicitors’ firms navigate through the legislative environment in which they operate.   

The third edition brings together, for the first time, all of the Solicitors Acts and the Legal Services Regulation Act 2015.

It aims to assist practising solicitors by locating in one single document all legislation governing the profession.  More importantly, legislation which has been amended or substituted is identified in a red cross-reference in the left margin. Each red cross-reference contains a link which will instantly re-direct to the page where the subsequent amending provision can be found. Another feature of the eCompendium is the ability to view legislation which would have been applicable at a different point in time which can be especially helpful.
