Members and Managing Partners


Member Benefits

Membership has its benefits and WALA, as a member Chapter of The Association of Legal Administrators, offers local, regional and national benefits specifically targeted at the legal community

Networking

An important and highly valued component of membership is networking with other law office administrators. Chapter members regularly poll one another via e-mail to obtain solutions to day-to-day problems. Informal discussions at meetings add another avenue of communication to share ideas and information.

Membership also includes the Membership & Peer Consulting Directory which gives its members access to the expertise of thousands of ALA members all over the world.

Continuing Education

A large part of the chapter's focus is the education of its members. Endless possibilities for learning are available. Life long learning is an integral part of the profession. Local opportunities include monthly meetings and skill building mini-seminars. Regional and national opportunities include:

Certification

The Certified Legal Manager (CLM)SM Certification Program is a process whereby an administrator demonstrates mastery of the body of knowledge necessary for successful performance in managing a law firm or office. Becoming a Certified Legal Manager is strictly voluntary, and is open to all qualified legal administrators.

Salary Survey

WALA conducts an annual Salary and Benefits Survey covering support and associate attorneys. Results are compiled by an outside source and distributed at a nominal charge to member firms. Non-member firms are charged a slightly higher fee for survey results. In addition, ALA conducts a salary survey annually, as well.

Management Resources

Among the resources available to our members are those provided through ALA which include:

Foundation of the Association of Legal Administrators (FALA)

Quest Award – an award which recognizes a new member who is involved in a number of Association activities.
