Carpenters' solicitor appointed president of Law Society

Carpenters’ Glenys Hunt has been appointed as Liverpool Law Society president for the 2013-2014 term, succeeding Alistair Fletcher.

Glenys began working with the Liverpool Law Society’s general committee in her capacity as chair of the Merseyside, Chester and North Wales Association of Women Solicitors and was later elected as a director of the Society in 2004. 

During her tenure at the Society she has celebrated great success and occupied a variety of roles including chair of the Library Sub-Committee, chair of the Dispute Resolution Sub-Committee, treasurer and most recently vice president. 

Glenys says: “There are many challenges facing the profession and all lawyers have to make changes to their working practices. I see my biggest challenge as providing the information and support our members need to help them cope with changing circumstances so that their firms survive the threats and thrive in the new climate.” Emlyn Williams, employment partner at Weightmans LLP, succeeds Glenys as vice president.

Detection, investigation and prosecution all require improvement, while different fraud types demand tailored responses.
