Why join?
Join the Private Client Section for knowhow and practical support to help you be good at what you do.
Membership of the Law Society’s Private Client Section will help you with your work in wills, probate, estate and tax planning, trusts and mental capacity to be good at what you do, SRA compliant and progress your careers.
Membership provides a tailored package of SRA continuing competency support through guidance on legal and market developments, enhancing soft-skills, expert commentary and peer networking.
To design the programme of member support, the Section receives recommendations from the Private Client Section Advisory committee and the wider membership including feedback from surveys, on line discussions groups and events, etc.
Our emphasis is to give our members guidance from experts in their fields who have day-to-day experience of dealing with the issues covered and can provide you with practical experience to assist with your unique challenges.
Not only does your annual membership fee include exclusive online content, magazines, e-newsletters, face-to-face networking events and topical webinars, discounts on related events and publications, you can also access archived online content and recorded webinars, making your membership go even further.
