Does your website meet the SRA rules?

What the SRA Transparency Rules ask for

Since December 2018, every SRA-regulated firm with a website has had to publish certain information on it. The SRA runs sweeps of firms' websites and has taken action against firms that ignored the rules. There are four parts, and the checker looks at each one.

Rule	What it needs
4.1	Your SRA number and the SRA digital badge, displayed prominently.
2.1	Your complaints procedure, including how and when a client can complain to the Legal Ombudsman and to the SRA.
1.1 to 1.5	Cost information for the services listed in the rules, if you offer them.
1.5	Information about the nature and scope of those services, the key stages, the timescales and who will do the work.

The services that need published prices

For individual clients: residential conveyancing (sales, purchases, mortgages and re-mortgages), uncontested probate and estate administration in the UK, immigration applications and First-tier Tribunal appeals (not asylum), summary-only road traffic offences dealt with at a single hearing, and employment tribunal claims for unfair or wrongful dismissal.

For business clients: defending unfair or wrongful dismissal claims, debt recovery up to £100,000, and licensing applications for business premises.

Writing a price page clients actually read

The rules set the minimum. A good price page goes further: it gives a clear figure or range near the top, breaks down disbursements in a table, says plainly whether VAT is included, and lists what would push the price up. Clients compare firms on these pages, so a clear one wins work. A vague one sends them to the firm down the road.

This checker reads the public website automatically, so treat it as a first look. It can miss prices inside PDFs or on pages it did not reach. The rules themselves are on the SRA website.
