Continuing professional development
All qualified solicitors must comply with the Solicitors Regulation Authority's continuing professional development (CPD) requirements. The Law Society has produced a practice note which gives advice on the numerous and varied ways in which you can meet your CPD obligations.
Supervision
The proper supervision of work is also a legal and professional requirement. We have put together a guide aimed at supervisors and those who are supervised, including advice about the skills that are required to be a good supervisor.

Our careers section contains useful information and advice about the education and training requirements for qualification as a solicitor.
