The SRA’s Unilaterally Loophole (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We unpack the SRA’s updated COLP and COFA separation rules, including the meaning of unilaterally, the risk thresholds for client money and turnover, and why some firms may try to use governance tweaks as a workaround. The discussion also explores the practical limits of paper compliance, the rule 8.7 exemption for exceptional transactions, and whether real oversight can survive when liability is pushed onto junior staff.
