Law Society Governance Review

Law Society Governance Review

The Law Society of England and Wales’ new strategy in 2015 committed to review the Society’s governance. At its meeting on 18 May 2016 the Law Society Council took a further step in considering proposals for change to ensure Council continues to be representative of a changing profession. The Council discussed a paper from its Governance Review Working Group, which can be viewed here.

Work is now ongoing to develop detailed proposals for change; The Law Society’s Governance Review Working Group will meet next on 9 June and other meetings will be scheduled to follow. As part of this process, the working group is keen to hear from firms and members - to share your views with the working group please email representation@lawsociety.org.uk.
