Practice notes

Practice notes are issued by the Law Society as a professional body for the use and benefit of its members. They represent the view of the Society on what a standard of good practice in a particular area is. Solicitors are not required to follow them. Nor are they intended to represent the only standard of good practice which solicitors can follow.

Practice notes are not legal advice. While care has been taken to ensure that they are accurate, up to date and useful, the Law Society can accept no legal liability, other than liability for death or personal injury arising from negligence, for any loss or damage suffered by any person who acts in reliance on their contents or in reliance on any statement or representation made in them.
