Introducing the 2022 president...

Birmingham solicitor and mediator Lubna Shuja has won the Law Society election for deputy vice president

Shuja is the founder and principal solicitor at family and civil firm Legal Swan Solicitors, where she specialises in professional discipline and regulation. She is also a mediator dealing with civil and family disputes.

She takes office on 14 October, when the current deputy vice president Stephanie Boyce moves up to vice president, and David Greene becomes president.

‘I am looking forward to facing the challenges ahead and working alongside the other office holders and staff,’ Shuja said. 

‘I am proud to be a solicitor and am keenly aware of the issues facing our profession and the public at this exceptionally difficult time. I want to support our members to meet those challenges, whilst also ensuring that the profession maintains its prominence nationally and internationally, through various campaigns including access to justice and the rule of law.’   

Shuja has been a Law Society council member since 2013 and chair of its membership and communications committee since 2018. She is also a member of the Law Society Board.
