To assist members facing disciplinary proceedings, the Society has launched an initiative called Defence Assist. Under this scheme, members facing disciplinary proceedings may seek legal assistance on disciplinary proceedings from fellow members who have volunteered to provide such assistance.
In the unfortunate event of a dispute between law practices, parties concerned may wish to consider mediation by a Senior Counsel. Under SCMediate, any Senior Counsel in private practice will, upon request and subject to his availability, act as mediator to mediate a dispute between law practices without charge where the total time spent does not exceed half a day.
