The Society of Scottish Lawyers in London (SSLL) was established inOctober 1987 by a Steering Committee chaired by Mr Tom Winsor * (RailRegulator 1999-2004). The main aims of the society areto provide an opportunity for social contact between Scottish lawyers in London;

  1. to further the interests of Scottish lawyers in London; and
  2. to afford opportunities for the discussion and consideration of matters of interest to members of the Society.
There are currently 8 members of the Committee of the Society under the Presidency of Graeme Davidson of Maclay Murray and Spens. The Rt. Hon.

Currently, the main event organised by the Society is an annual Burns Supper which is held at The Brewery in Chiswell Street, London ³ a magnificent venue in the heart of the City. Traditionally, the Burns Supper is held on the Thursday before 25 January. Next year's Burns Supper is going to be held on Thursday 25 January 2007, Burns Night itself.

The Society is keen to hold other events for its members. The most recent event in addition to the Burns Supper was a drinks evening at The Royal Scottish Corporation's headquarters in Covent Garden. The Royal Scottish Corporation is a charity which helps needy Scots in London suffering hardship or seeking to rebuild or improve their lives.
