The Law Society has launched its member survey on the Practising Certificate Fee (PC fee) for 2021/22. 

In response to the challenges of the pandemic, the Law Society reduced the amount it collected in 2020/21 by £3m to £28.5m. It proposes maintaining the same level for this coming year.

Law Society president I Stephanie Boyce said: ‘We understand the pressure that our members remain under and that is why we will keep our cost to members flat next year―this follows a 10% fee reduction in the current year.’ The Law Society receives about 30% of the PC fee.

Take the survey before 9am on 14 June here.
