An introduction

Focused on supporting and representing all solicitors in local government

SLG is the professional body promoting, representing and supporting the 4,000 local government solicitors and trainees in England and Wales. We are separate from, but recognised by, The Law Society.

There are nine regional Branches which provide training, hold seminars and events and help to organise Special Interest Groups (SIGs) in your area in your area that concentrate on particular areas of practice. There are also a wide range of other services and activities for members as described throughout this website.

SLG's work is co-ordinated by the National Executive Committee and managed on a day-to-day by the Management Committee comprising the National Officers. Membership is open to all solicitors and trainees employed in local government, including Police Authorities, Fire and Rescue Authorities and Passenger Transport Executives. Please see membership eligibility for full details.
