Who we are?

The LSLA was formed in 1952 and currently represents the interests of a wide range of civil litigators in London. It has some 1000 members throughout London among all the major litigation practices, ranging from the sole practitioner to major international firms.

Members of the LSLA Committee sit on the Civil Justice Council, the Civil Rule Committee, The Law Society Civil Litigation Committee, the Commercial Court Users Committee and the Supreme Court Costs Group, to name but a few. As a consequence, the LSLA has become the first port of call for consultation on issues affecting civil and commercial litigation in London, and it has on many occasions been at the forefront of the process of change. Representatives from the City of London Law Society and the City of Westminster and Holborn Law Society also sit on the LSLA Committee.

Officers

Consultation
The LSLA provides rapid feedback to its members on ongoing consultations and debate, often allowing members the opportunity to participate by e-mail surveys or other forms of input.

Lectures
Each spring and autumn the LSLA holds a series of lectures on issues of topical concern. The quality of speakers pays testament to the esteem in which the Association is held.

E-Newsletter
The LSLA's e-newsletter is published monthly and keeps all members up to date with the many activities of the Association as well as providing a forum for debate. View past issues

Dinners
The Association holds two dinners each year. A formal Dinner takes place in the autumn. The Dinner which follows our AGM in March is a more informal event at which a speaker is invited to lead a discussion on a matter of topical interest on a "Chatham House" basis.
