Congratulations are in order for 33 of the Law Society of Scotland's members as they have been recognised for their work in their chosen fields.

Emma Hamilton, 2025’s winner of the Paralegal of the Year Award at the Scottish Legal Awards, became a mum at 19 and decided to juggle motherhood and a career in law to provide for her daughter. Now she reflects on this chapter in her life and what the future of a paralegal career looks like.

In the sixth session in our series highlighting the work we do to respond to potential changes in the law, representatives from the Tax Law Sub-Committee, Bob Langridge and Caroline Colliston will provide an overview of the recent activity the Law Society of Scotland has undertaken to advocate for solicitors interests in the context of changes to tax law.
