Practising certificate granted with restrictions on roles and responsibilities
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has imposed conditions on the practising certificate of Maame Adjoa Doku Djan-Krofa, limiting the scope of her professional activities for the 2025/2026 practice year.
The decision, made on 11 March 2026 and published on 14 April 2026, allows Ms Djan-Krofa to continue practising as a solicitor, subject to a number of restrictions.
Under the conditions, she is not permitted to act as a manager or owner of any authorised body, except for Pishon Gold Ltd, where she is currently associated.
In addition, she may only work as a solicitor in an employed capacity, and any such role must receive prior approval from the SRA. This requirement does not apply to her position at Pishon Gold Ltd.
The regulator has also prohibited her from acting as a compliance officer for legal practice (COLP) or as a compliance officer for finance and administration (COFA) at any authorised body, again with an exception for her role within the same firm.
The SRA stated that the conditions were imposed in the public interest and are considered reasonable and proportionate. The decision was made in accordance with regulation 7 of the SRA Authorisation of Individuals Regulations, as well as the regulatory objectives set out in the Legal Services Act 2007.
No further details were provided regarding the underlying circumstances that led to the imposition of the conditions. The outcome was reached through the SRA’s internal decision-making process rather than through proceedings before a tribunal.
Control of practice conditions is a regulatory measure used by the SRA to manage risks while allowing individuals to continue practising under specified limitations. These conditions are typically applied where the regulator considers that oversight or restrictions are necessary to protect the public and maintain confidence in the profession.
The conditions will remain in place for the duration of the current practice year unless varied or removed by the SRA.
