I consider my experience and skills gained over 35 years in the legal profession would enable me to make a positive contribution to the Council’s work. While I have spent the larger part of my career in-house, I also spent 10 years in private practice. When I was in-house at Standard Life, I worked extensively with law firms, both large and small, in Scotland and the rest of the World. I also have considerable management and budgeting experience which I can bring to this role. I have extensive experience of committee work with the Society and also through my involvement with community organisations and a charity. I have the time to devote to this important role. Council Members must be aware of and represent the views of their constituents. If elected, I would propose to hold a monthly surgery in Edinburgh and issue a quarterly report on what I have done etc. These are difficult and challenging times for the legal profession and the Council must take the lead in supporting its members and defending their interests. This role would enable me to give something back to the legal profession and I would ask for your support to enable me to get involved in the Council’s work.

Personal statement as to why you wish to stand for the Council (up to 250 words) – I want the Council to reflect the diverse areas of practice within the profession. Against the background of proposed widespread reform I feel that it is particularly important to have representatives who regularly appear in court and have experience of the day to day workings of the Scottish court system. I hope to represent and protect the interests of court practioners working in both criminal and civil litigation. As a solicitor who is less than 5 years qualified I feel that I can represent the interests of trainees and newly qualified members of the profession and give them an additional voice on the Council.

Personal statement as to why you wish to stand for the Council (up to 250 words) – The profession currently faces more significant challenges than it has ever done. From my work with the Edinburgh Barr Association with the Committee of the Society of Solicitor Advocates and the Criminal Practitioners Forum a I have gained an in depth knowledge of a range of skills which would be of assistance to the Council in addressing the challenges that the profession faces. I am of the view that the Council requires individuals who have not only the ability but the willingness to devote the time and attention required to assist the profession.

I believe that I am well placed to represent both criminal and civil court practitioners in the Edinburgh area. I also have a strong knowledge and experience of Legal Aid practice. As a large area with 5 Council places, I believe that Edinburgh would be well served by having a representative with an exclusively court based background. I have previously served as a Council member in the Edinburgh Bar Association and I have very good relationships with local practitioners. As a Solicitor-Advocate, I also practice in the High Court of Justiciary. A first hand knowledge of the operations of the High Court will further help me in representing the interests of local practitioners. Candidate Information Name: Mark S Hutchison Place(s) of Business: Gilfedder & McInnes, 101 Leith Walk, Edinburgh Professional degrees, Diplomas or qualifications: MA. LLB. Dip LP. NP.

I hope that this experience will give me some insight into the problems facing our profession in what has been a difficult time, as well as the opportunities ahead. I have served on a number of committees with the Law Society and the Edinburgh Bar Association. I have also liaised with politicians of various parties, civil servants and the media to represent the views of solicitors. There are challenges ahead for the whole profession. I would like to play a part in facing up to those challenges. I would hope to protect and promote the interests of the profession. I believe the society should robustly promote our interests and offer guidance to the government when they seek to regulate the profession. I would hope that my skills and experience would be an asset to the society. Candidate Information Name: Kim Leslie Place(s) of Business: Digby Brown LLP Professional degrees, Diplomas or qualifications: LLB (Hons) Date of Admission as a solicitor: 1999 Current self-employed/employed/unemployed position (please provide detail): Self employed Service to Local Faculty or Law Society of Scotland: Council member for the Law Society since 2004. Current committee positions: • Convenor of Civil Justice Committee; • Member of Remuneration Committee; • Member of Audit Committee; • Mentor in Law Society Trainees Scheme Personal statement as to why you wish to stand for the Council (up to 250 words) – I believe the profession is coming through a period of considerable change - for some it has been a fight to survive, for others an opportunity to thrive. We are a diverse profession. The challenges and opportunities vary depending on the work that you do and/or the way in which you do it. However, I consider that, at the core we are still a collegiate profession. I believe the brand of Solicitor retains a real value. It is in all of our interests that the reputation of the profession is preserved and promoted. This requires leaders within Council capable and prepared to decision make on your behalf. It also requires a competence in strategic planning and a degree of common sense. I am comfortable with strategic planning and change management. It is very much part of the culture at Digby Brown. Indeed, change invigorates me. Furthermore, I am a litigator and have developed skills in drilling down to the core of an issue and constructing an argument. This can be transferred to the work as a Council member. Finally, I hugely enjoy meeting people. I would therefore welcome any opportunity to speak to and listen to members of the profession to convey their views to Council.

  • Filling the Gap and Gaining Experience
    Filling the Gap and Gaining Experience - advice from a group of commercially focused lawyers and the Careers Service Use this leaflet if you are: - A graduate who has had their traineeship deferred and is looking to make good use of their time - a Diploma student or graduate looking for a traineeship - an undergraduate looking to gain experience to help you stand out in today’s competitive traineeship market A group of commercial law firms answered the three questions below and gave the following advice for making the most of a gap year, and gaining experience. 1. What tips would you give to graduates with a year (or more) to fill due to a deferred traineeship? • Do something constructive that will help them to develop as a person, be it travel, charity work, work experience - a break like that is not likely to arise again in their professional career so it should be used wisely and the time should be appreciated. • Try to be positive – see this as an opportunity. Make the most of the time you have, think of the time as an opportunity to develop yourself further rather than a negative turn in your career path. • Studying an LLM can be a good selling point but employers are likely to rate a period of work in a relevant business as highly as a taught LLM. • Possibly enquire as to whether any of the firm’s clients have any job opportunities available. • Look for pro bono opportunities or take time out to achieve personal goals such as learning a language.

  • Resources for Seeking Work in the UK Legal Sector
    IT’S NOT JUST FOR THE FREEBIES! The law fair comes along once a year and is your opportunity to explore some of your career options in much greater depth than the internet allows. It can be tempting to turn up, walk around picking up some freebies and leave – but if you do, you’re missing out on the full benefits of having a fair which is ultimately being organised for you! To make the most of it and find out who’s coming, read on… Why come to the Law Fair? 1. In such a competitive market, getting work experience and/or a traineeship is harder than ever, but by no means impossible. Coming and making the most of the fair may open some doors or open your mind to opportunities for you to consider. 2. This is your chance to find out all sorts about law firms and organisations which can be difficult to glean from the web. This includes - what kind of work firms do, what kind of clients they work for, how they value their trainees, what responsibilities they give to work experience students and trainees, what the social life at the firm is like, what the culture of the firm is like and what they are doing to safeguard the future of their firm in the current economic climate. 3. It is a recruitment event, so when someone asks your name and writes it down, they are doing this for a reason – typically to make a note of applications they would like to fast-track to interview, or definitely wouldn’t want to interview.
