Red Tape & Red Lines: Why the SRA’s New Rules Are Rallying Small Law Firms

This podcast breaks down the fallout from a high-stakes meeting between the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the newly formed SME & Boutique Law Firm Alliance. As a signatory to the campaign, Ashley tells us why small firm leaders left the table bitterly disappointed after challenging the regulator's arbitrary £600,000 threshold, which bans owner-managers from serving as their own compliance officers. Explaining how "turnover is not a proxy for risk," the episode highlights how these proposals impose costly administrative burdens, threaten firm viability, and fail to target actual client risk, and outlines what the Alliance is doing to fight back.
