Unity: Solicitor
Continuing competence, managed with confidence.
Unity: Solicitor
A better way to support solicitors, manage development and maintain firm-wide oversight.
Continuing competence is an ongoing professional responsibility. Solicitors must reflect on their practice, identify development needs, undertake appropriate learning and evaluate its effectiveness.
For law firms, the challenge is different.
How do you support individual responsibility while maintaining confidence that appropriate arrangements are in place across the firm?
How do you know whether development activity is being recorded, learning is being evaluated and matters requiring attention are being addressed?
And how can your L&D team manage these responsibilities without spending excessive time chasing records and preparing reports?
Unity: Solicitor provides a practical answer.
It combines a structured continuing competence system for individual solicitors with organisational governance, management dashboards, exception reporting and Fresh Managed Services.
Supporting the complete continuing competence cycle
Unity: Solicitor helps solicitors follow a structured approach to their professional development:
Reflect → Identify Needs → Plan → Develop → Evaluate → Review
Rather than simply recording courses attended, solicitors can connect development activity to identified needs, reflect on learning and evaluate its contribution to their practice.
The system supports the ongoing process of maintaining competence and helps individuals maintain an accessible record of their professional development.
Giving L&D teams the visibility they need
Manage by exception, not by chasing everyone.
Your L&D team should not need to examine every solicitor’s records to understand where action is required.
Unity: Solicitor provides management information and exception reporting that help authorised users identify outstanding requirements, incomplete processes and matters requiring follow-up.
This enables a more focused approach to governance.
Instead of spending time discovering what has or has not happened, your team can concentrate on supporting the development and interventions that need attention.
Strengthening firm-wide governance
Effective continuing competence governance is not simply about demonstrating that learning activity has taken place.
It requires a clear approach to responsibilities, monitoring, follow-up and review.
Unity: Solicitor helps firms establish a more consistent process, supported by appropriate management information and records of governance activity.
The result is greater visibility and a more reliable basis for assessing whether the firm’s arrangements are working as intended.
Supported by Fresh Managed Services
The system provides the structure. Fresh helps maintain the process.
Implementing and operating continuing competence governance can place additional demands on already busy L&D teams.
Fresh Managed Services provides practical support with implementation, administration, monitoring and agreed follow-up activities.
By combining the technology with an experienced professional-development team, Unity: Solicitor offers firms a supported approach to introducing and maintaining effective governance arrangements.
