Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) –
Law Society Personal Injury Panel – previously
called the Law Society Regulation Board, we are
the independent regulatory body of the Law Society
of England and Wales. Our purpose is to protect
the public by ensuring that solicitors meet high
standards and acting when risks are identified.
The overall standard for membership of the
Personal Injury Accreditation Scheme is set at that of a
competent personal injury practitioner which is
defined as:
'a practitioner who can identify and advise on a wide
range of personal injury and related issues and who
does not perform work that is outside of his/her
current knowledge, skills and expertise. A competent
practitioner will seek appropriate advice and assistance
as may be required to enable them to provide a full
and effective legal service to their client.'
