Influential voice that enhances our legal sector and justice Annual plan 2023-24

We will champion the interests of justice and the right to a fair trial as the Victims, Witnesses and Justice Reform (Scotland) Bill completes its passage through the Scottish Parliament.

We will push the Scottish Government to complete the necessary research work ahead of securing an agreed review and uplift mechanism for legal aid fees, and prepare for forthcoming legal aid legislation.

We will work to deliver the best outcome on the Regulation of Legal Services (Scotland) Bill, which provides us with a broader range of regulatory powers, and stop proposals for direct political interference in regulation.

We will implement a modernised look to the Society through a comprehensive rebrand that better reflects who we are and who we interact with, and which is better suited to the digital environment.

We will celebrate the Society's 75th anniversary, using this important milestone to showcase and celebrate the contribution of Scottish solicitors at home and internationally.

We will engage with the Scottish Government as it finalises its policy plans on incorporating a range of economic, social and cultural rights into Scots law, ensuring that we press for enforceable provisions that promote access to justice.
