KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Office for the Supervision of Solicitors (OSS)
The Office for the Supervision of Solicitors (OSS) was formerly the body responsible for handling complaints and disciplinary matters involving solicitors in England and Wales.
It investigated complaints relating to professional misconduct, poor service, and breaches of professional standards by solicitors.
The OSS formed part of the regulatory framework designed to maintain public confidence in the legal profession and ensure accountability among practising solicitors.
In 2007, the OSS was replaced by the *Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), which now performs regulatory and disciplinary functions for solicitors and law firms.
The replacement reflected broader reforms aimed at modernizing legal services regulation and strengthening independent oversight of the legal profession.
