City of London Law Society

The City of London Law Society is one of the largest local Law Societies in the United Kingdom. There are 17,000 solicitors practising in the "Square Mile", who account for 15% of the profession in England and Wales, represented by the CLLS through individual and corporate membership. The CLLS was originally part of the City of London Solicitors' Company which was founded in 1908, but in 1969 a separate Committee structure was set up to deal with all professional business and since 1986 this has been known as the City of London Law Society.

Following the introduction of Corporate Membership of the Society in 2006, which allowed firms to have individual membership for all of their solicitors practising from their City of London offices, the membership of the CLLS has increased significantly and now includes over two thirds of the solicitors practising in the City of London.

The CLLS's specialist Committees consider and, where appropriate, draft representations on, a number of areas of EU legal policy as they relate to their specific areas. The main areas include the development and ongoing reforms brought in under MFID II, reform and development of the Single Market, and environmental reforms affecting the EU and its neighbours. The developing new relationship between the EU and the UK following the departure of the UK from the EU are also followed by the CLLS.
