SDT, Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal

Welcome to Solicitor Insure

Solicitor Insure provides specialist advice, defence and protection for individuals and firms who have encountered a regulatory issue. It provides expert legal resource with knowledge of SRA protocols to support solicitors and their firms in early stage engagement, providing responses, collating documentation and crucially in providing representation in a tribunal or disciplinary hearing. Whilst examples include code of conduct, AML and client money breach allegations, the protection extends to any aspect of regulatory engagement, intervention or defence. It is intended to help level the playing field in situations where the regulator may have been quick to take action, and provide early intervention and mitigation where there is a case to answer.

 

Solicitor Insure aims to help protect an individual’s own practicing certificate where this is under review due to some form of SRA investigation, sanction or disciplinary proceedings. It is purchased by the law firm and applies to every employee who is acting in a professional capacity and who has potential to be engaged by the SRA for some reason.

 

It is backed by DAS Legal Expenses Insurance Company Ltd, one of the largest and most established legal expenses Insurers in the sector, and administered by QPI Limited, who are specialist legal sector risk managers and Insurance Brokers.

 

For wider protection for regulatory or other actions against the firm itself we recommend a specialist management liability policy which can encompass protection for the various responsibilities which the firms management team carry on it’s behalf, and any actions taken against the firm as an entity.
