The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) is looking for a new head of legal and enforcement to lead on the body’s regulatory, disciplinary and litigation casework.

The new hire can expect to join a regulator that is currently dealing with a proliferation of harassment complaints, with a recent report showing that the number of such complaints rose by 483% last year. The SRA cited the impact of the #MeToo movement as the main driver for greater reporting.
