Law Society of Scotland – Legal Services Survey
Survey of 1,000 Scottish Adults on behalf of the Law Society of Scotland on the services provided by a solicitor, and the use of the term ‘Lawyer’.

• While seven in ten (69%) Scottish adults correctly identify that writing a legal document that transfers ownership of a house is a legal service which can currently only be provided by a solicitor, just over half (54%) think that only solicitors can provide advice in a police station to someone suspected of committing a crime.
• Of the different legal services tested, Scottish adults are most likely to say that writing a legal document that transfers ownership of a house (65%) and representing someone in court (64%) are services that should only be provided by a solicitor.
• After being told that in Scotland there are currently no restrictions or requirements on who can call themselves a ‘lawyer’, nine in ten (87%) Scottish adults agree that there should be restrictions on who can do this, with two thirds (66%) doing so strongly.

FEATURED POLL

Sunday Express Voting Intention and BBC Poll

  • “We were so pleased with the results of the polling we commissioned through Savanta ComRes. Katie and her team were a steady hand of expertise throughout the whole process and worked quickly and professionally to meet our deadlines. The polling provided us with a hook that was instrumental in enabling our campaign to take light more quickly and gain a wider reach.”

  • “I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Charu, Rachel, and the rest of the Savanta ComRes team to any colleague who is interested in commissioning some polling. At every stage of our research with NHS leaders (from designing the questions, finding the right sample, going to field, analysing the results, and checking that we represented the findings accurately in our report), the team at Savanta ComRes were just brilliant – professional, responsive, expert, and enthusiastic about helping us achieve what we were after. I will definitely be working with them again in the future.”

  • “Savanta ComRes led a very substantial and complex data project for us with really expert advice and guidance to make sure we got the best possible quality data. With the help and support of Savanta ComRes consultants and in house data experts we managed to put together a potentially very difficult project on time and to the highest quality. They understand their clients and what matters to them."

  • Savanta ComRes were an absolute joy to work with. We needed a punchy poll-based story for the launch of the latest phase of our Choose Psychiatry recruitment campaign and Savanta ComRes delivered that in buckets, with the story getting national television, radio and print coverage as well as online.

With Richard Leonard resigning as Scottish Labour Leader, worth reminding ourselves that the Scottish public thought barely anything of him.

This, from our new polling in @TheScotsman, shows far too much grey 'Don't know) for any leader looking to make in-roads at an election.
