Championing the profession

The Law Society's Press Office works to champion and defend the reputation of the solicitors’ profession and the Law Society by proactively telling stories about the contributions the solicitors’ profession and the Law Society make to Irish society in the media. 

We work closely with our Committees and Law Society senior leadership to identify compelling stories to advance access to justice for all. Through proactive media campaigns and responses to media queries, the Press Office regularly engages with media to share policy and law reform recommendations to improve legislation and the wider justice system in the public interest.
