The Regulatory Committee, which oversees all the Society's regulatory work, seeks a lay member, while there are vacancies on six of its subcommittees including those dealing with client protection and professional conduct.

Further vacancies have arisen on three committees covering sectors or areas of practice (Legal Aid, Property Law, and Senior Solicitor Advocate Accreditation), and on 16 different policy committees from Access to Justice through to Trusts & Succession.
