The Law Society of Ireland has embarked on the first phase of a new strategic review consultation process with the Solicitors’ profession to assist in the development of the Law Society’s 2024-2028 Strategy. The closing date for solicitors to complete the anonymised survey has been extended until Friday 5 May 2023.
Through this initial consultation, those on the Roll of Solicitors and current trainee solicitors in Ireland are invited to share their views on the development of the Law Society’s 2024-2028 Strategy, in a survey that issued on Wednesday 19 April 2023. The current Statement of Strategy for the Law Society expires in December 2023.
President of the Law Society of Ireland, Maura Derivan, said, “The Law Society and the Solicitors’ profession play a key role in society, working to provide access to justice and to protect the rights of citizens. In this context, this multi-phased strategic review will help the Law Society to set a clear direction for the next five years that will contribute to a positive, progressive and open justice system, which is necessary in the public interest.
“At this early stage of the consultation process, we encourage all practising solicitors and trainee solicitors to share views on the challenges faced by the profession, and the opportunities to embrace in an evolving globalised environment.
“This is the opportunity for solicitors, who work in every community in Ireland, to contribute to the development of the largest branch of the legal profession and the Law Society and to ensure access to justice and the protection of the rights of our People into the future.”
