The Law Society

The Law Society is the independent professional body for solicitors in England and Wales. We are run by and for our members. Our role is to be the voice of solicitors, to drive excellence in the profession and to safeguard the rule of law. On behalf of the profession, we influence the legislative and regulatory environment in the public interest. At home, we promote the profession and the vital role legal services play in our economy. Around the world, we promote England and Wales as a global legal centre, open new markets and defend human rights. Our members are at the heart of everything we do. Whether you are working in a high- street practice, a commercial, regional or City firm, an alternative business structure (ABS) or in-house for a private, public or charitable organisation, the Law Society exists for you. We’re committed to ensuring that you can make the most of opportunities and can respond to the challenges of a changing legal sector. We aim to deliver value for money for the public interest funding contribution that you make as part of your practising fee, and when you choose to pay for additional products and services. We’re reviewing the range of support we provide to aspiring and junior lawyers and will have exciting news to share soon. Stay up to date with changes and updates coming into effect from 1 November 2022 via LawCareers.Net and the Law Society’s website. This information is provided by the Law Society.
