Devonshires is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. All of our qualified lawyers are subject to rules and principles of professional conduct.
Various practices of the firm are affected by financial services legislation and Devonshires and its clients are required to comply with the appropriate regulations.
The firm is not authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. We are, however, able in certain circumstances to offer a limited range of investment services to clients because we are members of the Law Society of England & Wales ("the Law Society"). We can provide these investment services where they are closely linked to the professional services we have been engaged to provide. We can also provide services in relation to investments which are a necessary part of our professional services or which we are otherwise permitted to provide under the above Act.
The Law Society is a designated professional body for the purposes of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, but responsibility for regulation and complaints handling has been separated from the Law Society's representative functions. The Solicitors Regulation Authority is the independent regulatory body of the Law Society and the Legal Complaints Service is the independent complaints handling body of the Law Society.
Market Abuse Directive 2005
The Market Abuse Directive imposes obligations on listed companies concerning the disclosure and control of inside (i.e. price sensitive) information. We can, if you are a company listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, assist you in complying with your obligations such as maintaining an insider list in accordance with the disclosure rules.
