Leeds Law Society President 2025/2026 Luke Corcoran

It is an incredible honour to be selected as the new President of Leeds Law Society. To be chosen as a representative of solicitors in my hometown is an incredible career highlight. I am really looking forward to everything that the role brings over the next twelve months. As the first Government lawyer to take on this role I am proud to represent my fellow Government lawyers and lawyers from the wider public sector, and I want to champion the important role we fulfil. Leeds Law Society has existed for over two centuries and in that time the profession has changed immeasurably. Having been a director of Leeds Law Society for seven years I have been proud of how we have managed to pivot and change to meet the needs of our members. Leeds Law Society continues to be a fantastic representative body proud of our history but welcoming and embracing change. Whether it is focusing on diversity and inclusion in our profession or helping legal organisations of all kinds navigate the world of Legal Tech, Leeds Law Society is here for its members and I am proud to lead it over the next year. On a personal note, growing up in Armley in west Leeds and attending a high school in special measures, wider society probably wouldn’t have expected someone like me to achieve much. However, with the support of a loving family and a mix of hard work and good fortune I have been able to build a fulfilling and engaging career. A key part of my decision to stand to become President was to be an example for young people who find themselves outside of what a solicitor is perceived to be. I want them to see that this profession can be for them too.
