Supporting solicitors across the UK
The HLS is your voice, both locally and nationally. The HLS council meets quarterly and is attended by the area representative of the national Law Society.
In addition, we have a council member who also sits on the council of the national Law Society. This provides a channel between the national and local Law Society and you the individual solicitor.
