About the Society
The Society Today
Liverpool Law Society boasts 2100 or so members in practice; it is one of the largest local Law Societies in England and Wales. Membership is broad and varies from practitioners engaged in high value commercial work to complex charity work.
The Society prides itself at being at the forefront of debate and has been able to communicate on behalf of its members their concerns in a number of areas both public and professional.
The benefits of membership are numerous and include representation, reduced rates for CPD training, invitations to social and networking events, a copy of 'Liverpool Law' the Society’s monthly magazine and reduced rates on venue hire. Events organised by the Society for its membership include include the Charity Summer Ball, the Legal Awards Ceremony, the Annual Dinner, the Judges' Forum, the Conkerton Memorial Lecture, wine tasting events, the Lawyers' Lunch and a ceremony to welcome Newly Qualified Solicitors to the legal profession.
The society is led by 27 committee members. They include the President, Vice President, Honorary Treasurer and the two Joint Honorary Secretaries.
