This your opportunity to use and enhance your skills in working with fellow legal professionals, as part of a team which serves not only our members but also tries to help the wider local community whose members are our clients.
You could become a director of Liverpool Law Society and have an opportunity to shape the future of one of the most active local and prominent Law Societies in England and Wales. You will make professional contacts and friends, and be at the centre of the work and decision-making of a substantial undertaking: Liverpool Law Society.
We would like to have a committee of Directors which is as representative as possible of the wide membership the Society encompasses. We have over 2500 members from all branches of the legal profession. Please note only full* members of the Society are eligible for election to the General Committee.
The Society’s Annual General Meeting will be held at 1.00pm on Thursday, 30th November 2023 at The Racquet Club, Liverpool city centre. It will finish by 1:45 pm.
By standing for election at this year’s AGM in November, you would become a member of General Committee. The General Committee consists of up to 27 directors, who each serve a three-year term. Every year, nine members of the General Committee retire by rotation at the AGM: up to five of those due to retire may be nominated by the Committee for re-election, and the others are not eligible for re-election until the next AGM.
The nominee must be a member of the Society, be nominated by three members of the Society and is elected to serve a three-year term.
Members of the Society will receive an email in mid-October with details on how to nominate a full member of the Society to become a director. The nomination form must be completed and returned to the Society by 1.00pm on Monday 23rd October 2023. Elections will then take place at the AGM in November.
Please feel free to attend the AGM if you are not standing for election. It would be good to meet you and I am sure that you would find it worthwhile to have a chat with a few of the officers and staff team plus some of members attending.
If you would like further information about the Society and the work of the General Committee and sub-committees please visit http://www.liverpoollawsociety.org.uk/about-the-society/committees or email committees@liverpoollawsociety.org.uk and we will get back to you.
