  5. Grow

Our membership of practising Scottish solicitors has grown dramatically over the last 70 years. Even during the recent economic downturn, our membership has steadily grown  each and every year to 12,000. From 1 November 2018 - 31 October 2019, we will GROW our membership and income by being a vibrant, influential and inclusive organisation through the following two projects.

5.1 Membership retention and growth

We will

  • Grow our numbers of practising members to 12,000
  • Increase our number of accredited paralegals to 630
  • Expand our student associate scheme through the recruitment of 500 new associate members.
  • Add 100 legal technologists with the launch of this new associate membership category.

5.2 Non-core income

We will maintain a competitive set of fees by continuing to grow our non-core income to £2.3 million. We will work with our Board to identify prospective investment opportunities that seek to generate non-core income in future years.

Annual plan 2018 - 19

Our annual plan for 1 November 2018 – 31 October 2019 includes 31 ambitious and exciting projects to help us to deliver our five strategic goals to ASSURE, SERVE, EXCEL, INFLUENCE and GROW.
