Law Society of Scotland CEO sets ambitious goals

Ben Kemp, the new CEO of the Law Society of Scotland, is looking forward to long-awaited regulatory reforms in the legal sector. In an interview with Scottish Legal News, he highlighted the importance of the Regulation of Legal Services (Scotland) Act 2025, which aims to strengthen regulation and provide greater support for members. Kemp, who previously served as interim CEO at the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, is focused on tackling challenges such as access to justice and promoting diversity within the profession. He also plans to address the ongoing decline in the number of legal aid solicitors. "Even in my brief time as CEO, I can see this has been a critical issue for the Law Society of Scotland, for the broader profession, and for society at large," he says, adding: "It's something I'm already engaged with, and we have a constructive conversation ongoing with the Scottish Government on this subject."
