Although the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) no longer requires Solicitors to undertake 16 hours of CPD per practising year, legal industry professionals must adopt their approach to continuing competence. This means undertaking regular learning so their knowledge and skills remain up to date. Individual firms may also require their employees to complete a number of CPD hours each year.
If you need help filling any gaps in your knowledge, genealogical research and asset repatriation specialists, Title Research, have a range of educational resources that can contribute towards your continuing competence.
