SAS members are available in most areas of the country but in any event are always available to give advice over the telephone to those who prefer not to have to deal with someone who is local or on a face to face basis.
You can if you wish contact a member direct. Should you wish to do so you can either go to the members tab on this web site, which will provide details and experience of individual members or you can print off and use the pdf of our member leaflet which can be found in the introduction to the information section of this site..
Alternatively, should you wish to speak to the administrator of the scheme first, and in confidence, then you can do so by calling 0207 117 8811.
Although there is a general feeling that the rule breakers and the dishonest should be left to their fate, the philosophy of SAS is that all solicitors, theirn families and members of their staff who have a professional or personal problem should at least have available one hour's free time to discuss their problem with a SAS member, even if the only proper advice that can be given is that they should report themselves! It should also be appreciated that SAS members deal with many matters other than misconduct and breach of the rules.
The philosophy of SAS is that it has a valuable preventative function and will enable solicitors to seek guidance at a very early stage before a breach of contravention becomes more serious leading to drastic measures on the part of the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal.
