We are not a law firm, but we are fully permitted to carry out non-reserved legal services to clients in accordance with the SRA Standards and Regulations 2019. All legal services are undertaken by an SRA regulated qualified solicitor who is regulated by and responsible to the SRA for all legal work undertaken. Whilst our solicitor must comply with the SRA Code of Conduct for Solicitors, Stroodel Limited is not bound by the SRA Code of Conduct for Firms. This means that clients of Stroodel are therefore not entitled to regulatory protections such as access to the Compensation Fund. We are also not required by the SRA to have professional indemnity insurance, however we do choose to carry professional indemnity insurance of £2,000,000 (two million pounds) details of which can be provided on request.
