Regulation Answers – a free new helpline for solicitors

30/01/2025 17:08:53

In response to feedback from the profession, the Law Society has launched a free regulation helpline.

Guidance and information to support solicitors

Regulation Answers provides a range of guidance and information resources on all areas of regulatory compliance, including:

  • the Solicitors Accounts Regulations

  • anti-money-laundering

  • professional indemnity insurance, and

  • Practising Certificate matters.

There is also helpful information on Law Society accounts investigations, and what to do if a complaint is made against you.

Accessing Regulation Answers

The Law Society understands that the existing regulatory framework places considerable pressure on solicitors. In response, the Regulation Answers helpline has been developed to better support solicitors with meeting their regulatory compliance obligations.

You can contact the helpline by either calling 01 879 8788 or emailing regulationanswers@lawsociety.ie. Telephone lines are open Monday to Friday from 9am to 12 noon.

Please note, the helpline is for general guidance queries only. It cannot provide legal advice, offer second opinions or comment on specific scenarios or circumstances.
