Review of Legal Profession Act 1966 Given Law Society's Recent Extraordinary General Meeting Resolutions

Ms Hany Soh asked the Minister for Law in view of the resolutions passed at the recent Law Society's extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on 22 December 2025, whether the Ministry considers any amendments to the Legal Profession Act 1966 necessary.

The Legal Profession Act 1966 (LPA) provides for the establishment of the Law Society of Singapore, including the composition of its Council and the election of office‑bearers.

We have noted the recent extraordinary general meeting (EGM). The Ministry will give due consideration to the points made at the EGM, as well as at other fora, as part of its regular review of the LPA to ensure its continued relevance and application.
