Serving on Council is an opportunity to represent the interests of both solicitors and the public while contributing to the strategic direction of the Law Society. You can use your skills and experience to support effective governance, influence key decisions and help shape the future of the profession.
It is also a valuable opportunity for personal and professional development, collaboration, and building your network.
