The IPReg office will be closed from 1pm on 24 December until 2 January 2026

When you see “regulated by IPReg” on a website or in an email or letter it means those lawyers (called attorneys) and organisations are regulated by us and that means:

• to qualify, attorneys have had to complete a rigorous examination and training programme and have to maintain their competence each year by undergoing continuing training and other development activities  
• the attorney and organisations must meet the ethical behaviours and standards of professionalism set out in IPReg’s Overarching Principles and Code of Conduct
• your work will be protected by professional indemnity insurance and you may be entitled to claim on IPReg's Compensation Arrangements Rules 

• you can complain to us
