One of the many good things about the City of London Law Society is that we don’t try to tell our member firms what to do. Indeed it’s the converse. We spend our time asking them what they want us to do, and just as important what they don’t want us to do.
But that doesn’t prevent the occasional initiative. I am the Senior Warden of the City Solicitors’ Livery Company and I will become Master of the Company later this year. For many years the City of London Law Society has been part of the Company but it will shortly become a separate body – although there will be close links. That leaves the Company to redefine its role, as the social and charitable arm of the Society. The Company will take a keen interest in the development of City solicitors in all aspects of their careers.
