'The 2009 edition is an invaluable resource to assist practitioners in high professional standards and enabling them to identify and deal quickly and effectively with regulatory and disciplinary issues' ARDL Quarterly Bulletin 'It is books like this that come to the rescue of solicitors who are beset with a vast range of legal, regulatory and compliance provisions that leave many bewildered. This book is a comprehensive in-depth guide to these key provisions. This is a book that is designed to ensure that solicitors can be fully acquainted with the legal and regulatory provisions that impact on their areas of practice.' Modus Operandi 'There's no more authoritative guide to the rules and regulations governing solicitors in England and Wales than the second edition of The Solicitor's Handbook.' Phillip Taylor, barrister, Richmond Green Chambers 'The Solicitor's Handbook 2009 is impressively put together and pulls together the key materials in to one handy volume - the guidance provided is excellent and it is a text which should remain close to any lawyer charged with compliance issues within a firm. Given the importance of compliance and the wide ranging powers of the regulator, all firms should invest in a copy of The Solicitor's Handbook 2009.' The Student Law Journal
