Have your say in our Council elections
Our Council play a crucial role in making sure solicitors are heard on a national level and represent solicitors from all backgrounds, across all parts of England and Wales, on the issues that matter to you and your practice, amplifying your powerful collective voice and strengthening our legal community.
Our profession has evolved and diversified since we were founded 200 years ago. It’s important that our Council reflects this. Whether through promoting access to wellbeing services or creating resources to keep improving equality, diversity and inclusion, we work to support solicitors across the profession.
Your choice matters when it comes to deciding who’ll be your voice when we advocate for the profession with decision makers at the highest levels.
