SLAS TO CALL SGM

SLAS TO CALL SGM

At the meeting of the Council of the Law Agents Society on 18th February, 2010, Council considered the response which has been received from the membership and from the wider profession further to the SLAS proposal to requisition a Special General Meeting of the Law Society in order to ascertain the profession’s views on the issue of the external ownership of law practices.

Council found that, in view of the response which has been received, there was absolutely no option but to requisition the Law Society to convene a Special General Meeting at the earliest date available. A requisition has now been prepared and shall be transmitted to the Law Society within the next few days.

All members of the Scottish Law Agents Society and all members of the wider profesison are urged to consider attending the SGM which is likely to take place late in March 2010.  Those members who do not wish to attend in person are invited to download and print out the documents available on the buttons below this article with a view to studying the relevant issues and, if supportive of the SLAS motion, to sign and send the proxy to the Secretary.  Members who find themselves opposed to the SLAS motion are invited to submit their reasons for consideration and for addition to the debate.
