Law Society Consultation on Practising Fee and 3 Year Plan – Act Now We Need Your Input

As a member of the Law Society, you are part of a community of over 200,000 solicitors across England and Wales. As your professional body, we have been proud to represent the interests of solicitors for almost 200 years.

Collectively the legal profession contributes £60bn to the UK economy and facilitates trillions of pounds of transactions globally, upholding the law and delivering justice.

The Law Society's job is to champion, protect and support your interests, as well as to promote access to justice and defend the rule of law both domestically and internationally.

The fees you pay as an individual, or that your firm pays on your behalf, are the main source of income for the Law Society.

The income from these fees determines what we can plan and undertake for you, the profession and wider society.

The Law Society has  progressed with developing the next corporate strategy for the period from November 2022 until October 2025, setting out our new vision, objectives and beneficial outcomes for the forthcoming three years (see annex).

This vision has the full support of our Council and Board, and they have urged the Law Society to be   ambitious in its plans to maximise the impact and value we give to our members.

We need the funding to support this ambition and ensure we have the necessary resources to achieve it in the challenging times ahead.
