Mr Kemp took up the role of chief executive of the Law Society of Scotland in August 2025, following an extensive career in legal practice, as well as professional body and regulatory leadership. He has arrived at the Law Society at a time of considerable change, with generational reforms to the regulation of solicitors in Scotland in train and as rapidly emerging technologies, in particular those using artificial intelligence, drive opportunity and uncertainty for the legal sector globally.

Throughout his career he has maintained a close connection with the University of Edinburgh, and especially with the law school, including as a tutor in public law for more than 20 years.
