SLCC welcomes new board member

A new SLCC board member has been appointed. Anne Gibson will join the SLCC board on 1 January 2023. The appointment is for five years.

SLCC Chair Jim Martin welcomed the appointments, “Anne will join the board at a fascinating time for the SLCC, as we implement a new, post-covid operating model and look forward to legislation to reform legal services regulation. As well as driving the strategic direction of the SLCC’s work, board members make decisions on individual complaints, making this a unique, varied, challenging and rewarding role. I welcome Anne to the SLCC, and the board and staff look forward to working with her on these issues over the coming years.
