New Members & existing SPs - Please join:
If you are starting a new firm as a Sole Practitioner, please notify the SRA and the Law Society records department and you will be added to their database for circulation regarding SP issues.
In the past, you automatically became a member of SPG unless you "opted out". The Law Society required groups to be "opt in" from the end of 2006, a policy we have strongly opposed.
Please show your support of SPG by formally joining the Group / “opting-in”. Please use this link to join or to amend your details*, if you have already registered.
*This links to an external internet site run by the Law Society for its Recognised Groups. SPG are not responsible for the content of any external internet sites. If you are updating your contact information, we suggest that you also contact the Law Society and SRA, as this link will only update information held by the Groups and regarding Opt-in.
