The Junior LSLA was created in Summer 2011 to represent the interests of junior civil litigators in London of less than 8 years PQE, to provide an environment for learning and social interaction, and to assist junior practitioners to develop their own practices.
The Junior LSLA puts on a number of events for its members and their guests throughout the year. These include "How to…" seminars relevant to the needs of junior members of the profession. The focus is on creating a relaxed environment in which to exchange ideas, debate topical issues and meet fellow civil litigators. Many of the seminars will be held in conjunction with our counterparts at Junior COMBAR and Junior LSLA members will be able to benefit from discounted rates. We also organise social events with junior bar groups and an annual dinner.
The Junior LSLA's relationship with the LSLA provides us with the opportunity to take part in consultations and to represent the interests of junior litigators. As part of the LSLA, the Junior LSLA strives to ensure that the views and opinions of junior litigators are properly considered and are not overlooked.
Junior LSLA Champions
As part of our drive to increase awareness of the Junior LSLA and the opportunities it can provide junior practitioners, we have established a group of Junior LSLA Champions; junior lawyers within firms practicing litigation in London.
Junior LSLA Champions act as the principal point of contact between the Junior LSLA and individuals within their respective firms, to promote membership of the LSLA and to raise awareness of Junior LSLA lectures and networking events.
A list of Junior LSLA Champions can be found below here. If your firm is not yet represented by a Champion and you would like to volunteer please get in touch with a member of the JLSLA committee
