Welcome to the first electronic edition of the Wolverhampton Law Society Newsletter. I hope that you will find the new format more user friendly than past paper versions.
This initiative follows on from meetings that Council held at the turn of the year at which Senior Partners from local firms were invited to come up with suggestions aimed at raising the profile of the Society both amongst its members and within the local community. In raising it’s own profile the Society believes it will also raise that of the Solicitors’ profession in Wolverhampton and surrounding areas to the mutual benefit of all members.
The Newsletter will endeavour to provide topical material of interest to the wider membership along with information about the initiatives and events that the Society is involved in on your behalf. It is intended to publish on a Quarterly basis but we will also use the Newsletter to circulate members with Press Copy when it is submitted.
The “blog” format has been chosen for ease of publication. We have made the blog “open” so that there is wider access to it. For this reason we have disabled the usual “comments” facility found on blogs so as to avoid the need to have a Moderator which would be too resource intensive.
Our Press Officer is acting Editor and we welcome suggestions for content in future editions along with articles for possible publication. Our editorial policy will be to focus on matters of interest to the wider membership and the public. As such, Press Releases and Advertorial Copy aimed at promoting individual member firms will not be eligible for publication.
I hope that you will all find something of interest in this first edition and thank you for taking time to have a read through it.
Nick Wynn-Williams (President)
