News / Law Society president visit

THE PRESIDENT of the Law Society of Scotland, Cameron Ritchie, is to visit Lerwick on Tuesday to meet Shetland solicitors.

Mr Ritchie said: “Solicitors play a key role in communities across Scotland.  They provide a range of essential services such as helping with buying and selling a property or making a will and can often provide a lifeline when someone is in the greatest need of help and advice.

“The past few years have been a time of rapid change for the legal profession, coupled with the ongoing economic downturn which has meant severe restrictions in public spending, including Legal Aid, and cutbacks in the private sector.

“We want our members to be as well informed as possible so that they can plan ahead and ensure their business continues to succeed.”
