Accredited solicitors

The Solicitors Regulation Authority operates more than a dozen accreditation schemes, all of which are designed to put you in contact with the specialist help you require.

All accreditation scheme members have successfully completed a range of stringent tests, examinations, interviews and role-play assessments; their fitness and suitability to be scheme members has been investigated and confirmed.
