Supporting COLPs and COFAs in their roles
COLPs and COFAs are responsible for ensuring compliance and making reports relating to their own firms to the SRA.
We can advise on risk assessment, policies and procedures and timing and structure of reports to the SRA.
We can assist with internal investigations and guidance as well as advise on personal liability for COLPs, COFAs and members.
We have dealt with a number of alleged failures to disclose material issues on COLP and COFA applications, and can advise on the approval process and how to maximise your chances of approval if there is a potential issue arising from the SRA Suitability Test.
