This year has brought unprecedented challenges to us all. It has also created opportunities for us (and to some extent required us) to do things in more creative and innovative ways. As the regulator of the legal profession it will be especially important in 2020-2021 for the Law Society to focus our efforts on supporting the health and wellness of the legal profession to ensure that legal services are delivered to the public competently and with integrity. I look forward to working with the Benchers and staff at the Law Society to meet these challenges and to advance the many other regulatory issues that come our way.
