Bristol Law Society
Legal Services
Founded in 1770, our mission is to support and represent the interests of the Bristol and Bath legal profession.
About us
Bristol Law Society (BLS) is the oldest local law society in the country, founded in 1770 when a group of local practitioners got together to share the cost of books. This innovative approach has continued through the years and has resulted in BLS being acknowledged as one of the most progressive and active local law societies in the country. The Society’s modern offices are in Bristol’s commercial centre by the historic waterfront at 12 Colston Avenue. The Society is governed by a President, two Vice Presidents and other executive officers alongside a Council of solicitors. It runs a number of social, charity and sporting events including quizzes, summer party, the annual Awards Dinner and Legal Sunday celebrations. They offer great networking opportunities for members and non members. BLS is an active member of the Association of South Western Law Societies and the Joint V (with Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester Law Societies) through which officers meet regularly with their counterparts. These liaisons offer a wider view of the needs and requirements of the profession and create particularly strong lobbying forces. BLS also provides a range of services to its members including a historic library, an annual programme of courses and seminars and a legal recruitment consultancy.

Another shout out to our SME firms and Chambers to take a look at this online webinar coming next week on Mastering Microsoft 365 and understanding more about this stack of products and security levels. It is the first in a series which will build on this session to then focus in on the key products lawyers are using to best effect working in the hybrid digital age such as Sharepoint, TEAMS, Co-pilot etc. Link to sign up below ⬇ AMD Solicitors Wards Solicitors Beverley Watkins Kelcey and Hall Cooke Painter Solicitors Marc White The Family Law Practice HARBOUR FAMILY LAW LIMITED Brigstow Family Law Battrick Clark Solicitors Bristol Law Centre Luke Menzies Quay Legal Newfields Bobbetts Mackan Solicitors Henriques Griffiths LLP Clutton Cox Ian Walker Battens Solicitors Limited Mogers Drewett Solicitors Roxburgh Milkins Limited Star Legal Solicitors Vermeylen Law Guildhall Chambers Albion Chambers St John's Chambers 3PB Barristers No5 Barristers' Chambers Old Square Chambers Queen Square Chambers Unity Street Chambers Enterprise Chambers
Join us and Quiss Technology PLC and Peter Graham in the first of a series of webinars around the MS365 stack which the majority of firms and Chambers will use. This first session will concentrate on the various SMB solutions and what you get in terms of products, security and functionality in a hybrid world. This overview session will then be followed up by more focused sessions this Autumn on specific products such as TEAMs, Sharepoint, Co-Pilot etc. The aim of the sessions is to ensure that you and your people are making the most of the digital capability you probably already have but is often under-utilised or simply not known about, and to help avoid costly spends on additional software that potentially are not needed. So whether you are an IT expert, fluent in 'IT speak' or a lawyer trying to get to grips with what your firm or you as an individual need in a world of acronyms and LegalTech suppliers this session will provide clarity and an opportunity to ask Qs!
