This practice note outlines the regulatory requirements to consider when closing down your practice.
There are numerous actions that need to be taken when closing down a firm and doing so will require forward planning. The process for closing a practice differs depending on whether or not there is a successor practice in place.
For further information about the successor practice rules, consult our practice note on professional indemnity insurance (PII).
