Prospective Member Questionnaire
Print this page in PDF format

Interlaw thoroughly vets prospective member firms, and generally only considers mid-sized, full service, commercial law firms located in a jurisdiction in which Interlaw does not currently have a member firm. Prospective members will have a distinguished reputation for adherence to the highest standards of ethics and professionalism, and actively represent clients with global interests. Principals of member firms must commit to participating fully in the Association’s conferences and activities to foster the development and reinforcement of personal relationships. If you would like to explore joining the Association, kindly complete this questionnaire and return online. The Secretariat will contact you.
