Dear Members & Colleagues

We trust the new financial year commenced with a great start for you and take this opportunity to remind you that it is also the start of our new membership year. Considerable development has occurred on updating and developing our database, an ongoing project. The new web developments will shortly be uploaded to the website and current financial members will have the opportunity to be included in WLANSW's 'FIND A WOMAN LAWYER' database. 'FIND A WOMAN LAWYER' places the public, lawyers and other professionals in touch with women solicitor experts in their field who are members of WLANSW. It also places the public, lawyers and other professionals in touch with women barrister members of WLANSW who are keen to receive briefs in their area expertise. Not currently financial or a member?
