Employed solicitors
More than 3,100 solicitors are employed in the largest 30 firms,
as measured by partner number. Most of these firms are located in
the central belt, with smaller concentrations in London, Aberdeen
and Dundee. More than 3,400 individual solicitors are also employed
by firms throughout Scotland in partnerships of up to and over ten
partners.
The Society offers professional support to these members through
the provision of CPD through Update and the services of the professional practice team
and development officer Heather McKendrick. All members receive
the Journal.
In the current economic climate, professional issues may affect
individual employed solicitors, including questions of redundancy,
locum working and re-training. Networking opportunities can be
created for this group by the Society and further information is
available at the support in the
downturn page.
Please contact professional support for further
