In Northern Ireland a solicitor is a member of that branch of the legal profession whose services consist of advising clients, representing them before the lower courts and preparing cases for barristers to try in the higher courts.

The Law Society of Northern Ireland is a body set up by Royal Charter and whose powers and duties are to regulate the solicitors' profession in Northern Ireland with the aim of protecting the public.

The Society operates through an elected Council of thirty members, all practising solicitors who serve on a voluntary basis. The Society employs qualified solicitors and chartered accountants to carry out the administrative role of the Society. The Society's role is to regulate and to provide a service for its members.
