Company law committee ;Appointment of committee members ; ;The Law Society is seeking to appoint three new members to its company law committee. Vacancies may also occur next year and this exercise will be used to identify suitable candidates to fill those positions on the committee. ;Members will formulate responses to consultations on proposals for new and amendments to existing company and financial services law and will promote improvements to law and procedure in these areas of practice. The committee is currently involved in the governments review of company law as well as the implementation of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. The committee meets on a monthly basis and in addition members are expected to contribute to working parties on more specialised areas, for example accounting matters, insolvency, and corporate governance. ;Applications are invited from solicitors with practice experience in company and financial services law who are able to contribute positive ideas and to commit time to the heavy workload of the committee. At present the committee is lacking expertise on collective investment schemes, company charges, insolvency and private companies. ;We are striving to deal with all people fairly and to ensure that our committee membership comprises a balance of society. Applications are welcome from all, irrespective of sex, race, colour, age, sexuality or disability and appointments will be based on merit, following an open and clear selection process. ;For an application pack please contact Steven Durno at the Law Society, tel: 020 7320 5726; fax: 020 7320 5673; e-mail: steven.durno@lawsociety.org.uk or write to the Law Society at 113 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1PL; DX 56 London/Chancery Lane. ;The closing date for applications is 18 December 2000. ; ; ;
