Information on letterheads, emails and websites

This practice note explains the information that you must include in order to comply with the Code of Conduct 2011 requirements, and the steps that you should take to facilitate this.

Please note: Outcome 8.5 of the SRA Code of Conduct 2011 requires letterheads, websites and emails to show the words 'authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority'. The SRA has noted that although websites, email footers and computer templates are relatively straightforward to change, firms may have stocks of pre-printed headed paper that they don't want to waste. Firms can use these old stocks and change their headed paper as soon as practicable in the next few months.
