Celebrating the Law Society’s first Asian, first Muslim president
Asian Standard covers Lubna Shuja becoming the first Asian and first Muslim President of the Law Society.
“I am honoured to serve as Law Society President. I take on the role at a difficult time for the legal profession,” she said.
“The rule of law has been in the spotlight as never before in recent history. The UK’s economy is on a knife-edge and businesses are having to deal with rising interest rates and high inflation.
“If the pandemic has proven one thing, however, it is that solicitors are resilient and adaptable. They keep the wheels of justice turning by providing services remotely, innovating at pace and ensuing the public can get the justice they deserve.”
