Important changes to our email updates

We want to keep our members up to date with the latest practice updates, changes to legislation, legal news, CPD training courses and more.

To support you, as your professional body, and also carry out our responsibilities as a regulator, we need to communicate with you on a range of issues.

We believe there is either a legitimate interest, legal interest or public interest in communicating with you about the following:

• membership and fees renewal, Law Society Council elections, general meetings and status changes
• ensuring the currency and competence of members including:
• the Journal magazine and the Journal Online
• fraud alerts
• information relating to practice issues, new legislation, compliance obligations, rule changes etc.
• information on career development
• information relating to CPD and training events
• other necessary and appropriate updates including information on Law Society research and certain member benefits and services

You cannot opt out of regulatory emails, such as practising certificate renewal information, general meeting notices and rule changes.

All other communication relating to the above areas will be sent to you unless you specifically choose, or have previously chosen, not to receive it.
