Law Society updates guidance on client communication

Law Society updates guidance on client communication

The Law Society of Scotland has updated the guidance on client communication (Rule B4) and the new guidance will come into effect on 1 June 2016.

It has made substantial changes as this is the first full review of the guidance since 2005, when it became mandatory for solicitors to issue terms of business letters to clients in all transactions (subject to certain limited exceptions).

Solicitors are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the terms of the new guidance before 1 June.

If you have any questions, contact the professional practice team on 0131 226 8896 or email profprac@lawscot.org.uk.
