New Conflict Rules
New Conflict and Confidentiality Rules in Force
Law Society Press Release 5 May 2006
New rules are now in force which regulate conflicts of interest
and the duties of confidentiality and disclosure. Chapters 15 and
16 of the Guide to the Professional Conduct of Solicitors (the
Guide) which formerly dealt with these issues have been repealed.
We have issued detailed guidance which explains how the rules
apply.
