There are a significant number of branches of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives operating across England and Wales, as well as four branches overseas.
Local branches are groups of geographically local members that, with the support of the membership department at CILEx headquarters in Kempston, aim to provide support to its members and to represent and raise the profile of CILEx in the local area. They are managed by a committee of volunteers comprising both practising Chartered Legal Executive lawyers and other members of CILEx.
Branches are run voluntarily by CILEx members. Your regional branch is likely to run social and educational events, which offer a great way to network with like-minded legal professionals.
Joining an active local branch of CILEx offers numerous ways of finding additional support and making contacts that can be of benefit to you for the rest of your career. If you join a branch committee, you get an opportunity to attend our Branch Personnel Day and other similar events at HQ. Branches are also often asked to pilot schemes with CILEx, therefore they are at the core of what we do and how we develop products and services for our members.
If you can’t find a branch within your area or region on our regional branches list, as we often have new branches starting up, please do check our upcoming branches page at: www.cilexbranches.org.uk/find_your_nearest/regional_branches
