Why SLC?

It means that the SLC has to deliver real value for its members, otherwise there is no reason for them to be members. In fact, the SLC’s mission, objectives and every day agenda are all driven by the membership through their elected Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors of the Society is populated with representatives from conveyancing firms of all different types and sizes ranging from the large centralised firms to sole practitioners on the High Street. This inclusivity means that every part of the profession has a voice and that the Society represents the profession as a whole and not any particular segment, and extends to wills and probate as well as conveyancing

As a professional body that is focused on conveyancing and wills and probate, the SLC and the resources available to it do not get diverted by other legal activities. The Society is passionate about the work its members do and it was for this reason that it decided to open its membership to non-Licensed Conveyancers in 2013.

The SLC gets on well with the CLC, its regulator, which cannot be said for all arms of the legal profession. Whilst there will occasionally be differences of view, these are debated openly and constructively and invariably with positive outcomes.

The SLC set out some years ago to build a range of benefits that deliver greater value than the the cost of membership and whilst we believe this has been achieved, we continue to look to add further value.
