Clasa's main aims are to promote the common interests, competence and standing of corporate lawyers. The objects are more fully set out on page 8 of this form. For example, it is currently negotiating with the Minister of Justice regarding the legislative recognition of the professional status of legal advisers. The relevant employer organisation is the member, and has as many legal adviser representatives as it requires.
Representatives have to qualify in their own right.
They would consequently have to complete that part of the application form that relates to them. The individual becomes a member. An advantage of individual membership is that there is no need for a re-application for membership should you change jobs and take up employment elsewhere as a legal adviser. It is also our experience that many, if not most, corporations pay for individual membership on behalf of their employees. This class of membership applies when the applicant does not qualify as a legal adviser but would nevertheless like to become a member.
