Introduction
The aim and process of regulation is the systematic attempt to restrict fluctuations in behaviour. In the case of professional ethics, this involves controlling professionals by requiring conformity to norms of behaviour.
This task has traditionally been approached by developing a culture of compliance. This is supported by a variety of mechanisms including professional codes of conduct, education and disciplinary tribunals. Codes of conduct have been the repository of the legal profession’s ethical commitments. They continue to be important as statements of the conduct lawyers should aspire to. The new regulatory system is, however, giving rise to new kinds of rules and new mechanisms of enforcement.The regulatory regimes emerging after the Legal Services Act 2007 are directed at managing entities. Individuals continue to be subject to disciplinary procedures but the focus of regulation has changed. Regulatory responsibility is placed on organisations. Regulatory activity is much more focused on organisations. Regulatory sanctions have been developed that are appropriate to the organisational scale of operations. This has the effect of making organisations more responsible for the conduct of the individuals, including the professionals, they employ.
