Law Society President in Dubai
President of the Law Society Lubna Shuja attended an event at the Diplomat Business Club in Dubai, reports Khaleej Times, UAE Times, Mena FM and MSN. The event was attended by British and Emirati legal professionals, as well as businessmen from various countries living in UAE.
Lubna Shuja thanked the club and praised Dubai as one of the major hubs of UK-qualified solicitors - many of whom work at global law firms as well as for in-house positions at major companies in the UAE.
HLPAS delays court further
LettingAgentToday reports that there have been concerns from landlords over the Housing Loss Prevention Advice Scheme (HLPAS) that the new scheme will cause further delays in the courts.
Law Society President Lubna Shuja said: “Without easy access to providers, the scheme does little to help people at risk of losing their homes. And with increasing demand, the few providers remaining will not have the capacity to take on new clients.”
Past president’s advice
Previous president of the Law Society, I. Stephanie Boyce, writes in Todays Wills and Probate about her time in role, and what advice she would give to those in leadership positions.
