About Us

The Sussex Law Society, founded in 1860, is a professional organisation representing solicitors practising or living in the Sussex area and providing valuable benefits to its members including local CPD training, social activities, regular on-line Newsletters and a low cost recruitment service.

It is independent of other Local Law Societies and of the solicitors' controlling body, the Law Society. Its members include employed solicitors, sole practitioners, firms specialising in particular areas of law, firms carrying on general practice, substantial regional firms, and firms with international connections. As a result, the range and breadth of expertise of its members for both the private and business client is extensive.

The Society's principal objects include:

• The protection of the character, status, rights and interests of its members and of the profession of solicitors generally.
• The promotion of honourable practice among solicitors.
• The consideration of questions affecting the profession at large, or the alteration or administration of the law, and
• The promotion of legal education.
