HRLA Corporate Membership Scheme
The HRLA Corporate Membership Scheme was established in 2009 to offer
legal firms and chambers the opportunity of multiple memberships on a
fixed annual rate. Corporate members receive the following benefits:
- Free entry for all corporate member trainees, pupils and qualified lawyers to all HRLA seminars, lectures and workshops.
- CPD credit for attendance at HRLA events.
- Discounted prices on selected human rights publications.
Corporate
membership enables legal firms and chambers to meet their legal staff’s
annual CPD requirements. It provides a valuable opportunity to enhance
staff training and development whilst engaging with a broad cross
section of the legal community in some of the most important
discussions and debates regarding the promotion and protection of human
rights in the UK.
The HRLA now has a wide range of corporate members including:
1 Crown Office Row
1 Mitre Court Buildings
1 Pump Court
25 Bedford Row
3 Raymond Buildings
Atlantic Chambers
Blackstone Chambers
Clifford Chance
Doughty Street Chambers
Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer
Garden Court Chambers

Monckton Chambers
We are tremendously grateful for the generous support and assistance provided by our corporate members.

Sponsorship of HRLA Bursary Scheme
Corporate members are also invited to sponsor the HRLA Bursary Scheme. The Scheme was established in 2006 to support law students (including recent graduates) to undertake unfunded or low paid short-term work related to UK human rights law but who are constrained from doing so because of their lack of financial means. Each year the HRLA provides around 5 awards from an annual bursary fund of between £4,000 and £6,000.
In return for sponsorship of the HRLA Bursary Scheme, the HRLA is pleased to nominate one of the bursary awards in the name of the corporate member.
We are tremendously grateful to Lexis Nexis for generously sponsoring the 2010 HRLA Bursary Scheme.
If you would like to discuss sponsoring the HRLA Bursary Scheme, please email Alison Gerry, HRLA Chair at a.gerry@doughtystreet.co.uk or Gemma Hobcraft, the HRLA Executive Committee member responsible for the bursary scheme, at g.hobcraft@doughtystreet.co.uk.
