Synopsis

Foundations for the LPC covers three of the compulsory 'stage 1' course areas set out in the LPC Outcomes. Featuring a fully updated chapter on professional conduct based on the Solicitors' Regulation Authority's new handbook, it also includes chapters on money laundering, tax, and wills and probate. It also features content on EU and human rights law, two topics now taught pervasively through the LPC course.

The text includes worked examples and scenarios throughout to illustrate key points and aid understanding, and checkpoints and summaries to test comprehension of the core material. This guide is essential reading for all students and a useful reference source for practitioners.

Online resources to accompany the text include updates on key legislation, regular updates from relevant organizations, useful links, forms and diagrams.
