Who are we?

Cambridgeshire and District Law Society (CDLS) represents most of the solicitors practising in the City of Cambridge and the surrounding region.

It is a self governing association entirely independent of the national Law Society which governs the conduct of solicitors.

History

CDLS was founded in 1871, which makes it one of the oldest local law societies in the Eastern Region.

The Society is run by a committee, with a President and Vice President elected from the membership each year. In recent times they, along with an Honorary Secretary and an Honorary Treasurer, oversee the work of a part-time employed Administrator.

In 1898 the Society commissioned a Badge of Office to commemorate the appointment of a local solicitor, C Berkeley-Margetts of Huntingdon, as President of the national Law Society.

The badge is an antique and is shown in the logo at the top of this page.
