What Happens If a Solicitor Faces SRA Strike Off or Suspension?

Being struck off or suspended by the SRA can be career-ending for a solicitor or highly damaging for a law firm. The SRA enforces strict disciplinary measures for breaches of its regulations, including misconduct, dishonesty, and failure to meet professional standards.

Grounds for SRA Strike Off or Suspension

Solicitors or law firms may face regulatory action for:

  • Misuse of client funds
  • Breaches of the SRA Code of Conduct
  • Dishonesty or criminal convictions
  • Regulatory breaches such as failure to comply with anti-money laundering laws
  • Persistent poor practice or professional negligence
