Document Shredding for Solicitors

When it comes to confidentiality solicitors and barristers are held to an enhanced duty of care than that applied to the rest of us. Not only are you regulated by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) like the rest of us, but you will additionally be regulated by the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority (SRA) or Bar Standards Board (BSB) depending on whether you are a solicitor or barrister. Indeed the principle of confidentiality sits at the heart of both solicitors’ and barristers’ professional code of conduct and sloppy management of the document destruction process could land your firm or chambers in hot with the SRA or BSB respectively. And let’s not forget your duty under the Data Protection Act of 1998 & 2000.
