Diversity Statement

As the professional body for solicitors in Scotland, the Society has responsibilities to the profession, to the public as a whole, and as an employer. To represent and protect these truly diverse groups the Society recognises the need to:

  • Value the contribution from all who make up the population of Scotland.
  • Take strength from the widest experience, knowledge and understanding it can access – both within and outwith our Society membership.
  • Go beyond legal compliance by integrating diversity into all that we do.
  • Promote the core values of diversity to the profession as a whole
