Law Society of Scotland appoints new executive director to boost member services

The Law Society of Scotland has appointed Paul Mosson (pictured) as its new executive director for member services.

Mr Mosson has a strong background in delivering member services within the legal sector having worked with the Bar Council of England and Wales for nine years, starting as its head of member services and ultimately as its director of services, policy and representation. Most recently he set up as a consultant and has been working with Mills Rendall & Associates on strategy development for, among others, the Birmingham Law Society and on a leadership programme.

Lorna Jack, chief executive of the Law Society of Scotland, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Paul to the Law Society and look forward to working with him as part of our senior leadership team. He impressed us with his knowledge of and achievement within the legal sector, his enthusiasm to collaborate and work with others, and his drive to innovate and provide the kinds of services that solicitors and law firms want and need from their professional body.”

Mr Mosson commented: “I’m thrilled to be joining the Law Society at this point in its strategy and working with the Officer Bearers, Lorna and the rest of the team to deliver its ambitions over the next few years. I am joining an outstanding team with whom I will work to deliver world-class services, and I am especially looking forward to meeting as many of our members as possible over the coming months.”
