From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Law Society of England and Wales is the professional association that represents the solicitors' profession in England and Wales. It provides services and support to practising and training solicitors as well as serving as a sounding board for law reform. Often, members of the Society are consulted when important issues are being debated in Parliament or by the executive.

The Hall of the Law Society is at 113, Chancery Lane, London but it also has offices in Redditch, Worcestershire (records), Leamington Spa ('Resolutions') and Brussels, Belgium (to deal with European Community law).

Barristers in England and Wales have a similar professional body, the General Council of the Bar, commonly known as the Bar council.
