The workload and complexity of issues encountered by law firm compliance officers and managers is increasing daily as a result of both the regulatory regime and the increasingly dynamic nature of the legal services business and the risk scenarios which arise as a consequence.

The introduction of the role of the Compliance Officer for Legal Practice (COLP) and Compliance Officer for Financial Administration (COFA) in the legal services market has focussed attention on the ever increasing need within law firms to comply with requisite regulation and best practice and to ensure that their staff receive appropriate training.

This certification designed by legal compliance practitioners provides a comprehensive overview of the legal regulatory environment, the role of compliance professionals, their functions and position within the regulatory regime and their relationship with the business and other members of the firm.

This qualification is awarded in association with Alliance Manchester Business School, the University of Manchester. In the UK, it is also endorsed by the British Bankers’ Association.
