The current Scomo model allows individuals to work as self-employed consultants within the framework of a firm that provides support and advice whilst also ensuring compliance with the Solicitors’ Code of Conduct and statutory provisions, for instance that relating to data protection.

Lucy Scott-Moncrieff has been working on a system that would allow  small firms, and charities offering legal services, to benefit from the Scomo model whilst maintaining their professional independence and the individuality and identity of their organisation.

The name of the scheme is Surelaw and you can read all about it at www.surelaw.co.uk
