Society names LawCare appointee

Laura Malcolm, professional support manager at the Law Society of Scotland, has been named as the Society’s new trustee and director on the board of LawCare, the independent charity which provides help and support to solicitors and other legal professionals.

LawCare helps people in the legal profession cope with issues such as stress, workplace bullying, disputes with colleagues and alcohol misuse, through a confidential telephone helpline.

Ms Malcolm commented "I'm delighted to be joining the LawCare board and to be able to contribute to the fantastic work they do to support members of the legal profession. It’s an incredibly valuable service for our members and I’m looking forward to becoming even more involved.”

The Society encourages staff to take up board positions such as with LawCare, and to volunteer their time for worthy causes where possible, as part of its corporate social responsibility strategy.

LawCare’s helpline is 0800 279 6888.
