Hi ,

So a solicitor is a lawyer that can give legal advice and draw up legal

documents and a barrister is a lawyer that can advocate in court?

We regulate you if you are a

solicitor,

registered European lawyer,

registered foreign lawyer,

recognised body,

lawyer or non-lawyer who is a manager or employee of a legal

disciplinary practice,

employee of a recognised body or recognised sole practitioner.

Since 1 February 2010, our approach is to investigate you as a

firm. Compliance with a firm's regulatory obligations is the primary

responsibility of a firm, however we may decide to investigate you as

individual where, for example, there is evidence of personal

culpability.

If we suspect professional misconduct, we may investigate you and

your firm. If we find misconduct, our final decision will be

proportionate to the misconduct found.

Investigations are mainly conducted by raising issues with you in

writing. We may also decide to conduct an investigation on-site.

Information about how we investigate and make decisions can be

found by choosing from the following options:

How to report others

What will happen if you have been reported to us

Why we may be investigating you

What happens when we intervene into a practice

The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal

Conditions on practising certificates and registration

Conditions on recognition of a recognised body

Revocation of recognition of a recognised body

Revocation of authorisation of a recognised sole

facing.

in very low corts dealing with minor matters solicitors can address the

bench say at magistrates court

barristers cannot be approached directly by a litigant only via the

litigants solicitor
