Who and What?

SAL is the UK´s largest independent legal society, with in excess of 1500 legal and other professional members. SAL members encompass a cross section of the legal world and include partners in high profile city firms, leading barristers and QCs, in-house counsel, high street practitioners, legal executives, trainees, pupils, students and everyone in between.

SAL was first formed in 1990 and was a vision of forward thinking Asian legal professionals who wanted a voice for the Asian legal community, as well as a forum to discuss important and relevant issues. Moreover, they wanted to create a networking hub for like-minded individuals.

SAL is a non-political organisation run by volunteers and receives no funds from external sources. We rely entirely on our membership subscriptions and profits from our annual ball as our main source of income and are therefore heavily reliant on the commitment and loyalty of our members to make SAL work.
