WHLS Membership – time to renew!

Representing the 20,000 solicitors across Westminster, Holborn and Central London

It was wonderful to see so many of you at our Autumn Reception at the House of Lords and at our Annual Black-Tie Dinner at the National Liberal Club. These were just two of the fantastic WHLS events held during the past year, with more to follow.

Membership is the cornerstone of our organisation and we rely on your subscriptions to be able to offer our events and magazine. The Society membership year runs from October to October and 2022-23 annual subscriptions are now due. If your details have not changed, kindly pay the invoice sent by email. If you have changed employers or if your status has changed, such as from trainee to solicitor, please fill out a membership form so that we can update your details. If you're not yet a member you can easily join by completing the online form at www.cwhls.org.uk on the Join Us page and following the payment instructions.

For enquiries regarding Corporate Membership, please email Joanne Skolnick at cwhlawsoc@gmail. com. If you are an individual member, please consider approaching your firm about Corporate Membership.
