Mena Ruparel is both a practising solicitor and an experienced legal trainer with a mission to maintain the professional standards of the legal profession for the benefit of both the public and practitioners. Insights gathered from years at the front line have been distilled in this book.

Richard Burnham is a solicitor, legal blogger and lawtech developer so is ideally placed to look at the ethical risks of using technology and social media.

Both authors are regular contributors to national legal journals covering legal ethics. Click here to catch up on their recent insights.

"How to be an Ethical Solicitor by Mena and Richard brings the SRA Code of Conduct alive. For practitioners and students entering the profession, the Code is what we live and breathe. Mena and Richard provide an insight into the Code from their experiences with examples not otherwise always readily available. I particularly benefited from the chapter on social media which is new and upcoming in the legal world.

My students have definitely benefited from the quote ‘Know the right thing, Do the right thing, For the right reason’
Aruna Verma, Tutor, University of Law

"This is a must read book for Compliance Officers for Legal Practice (COLP) and Compliance Officers for Financial Administration (COFA), and for every solicitor to understand that the flexibility of the code still requires a analysis of actions."
