Auckland District Law Society Meets Membership Milestone

3000 member mark reflects growing national presence

Auckland, 03 November 2014 – Auckland District Law Society Inc (ADLSI), the country’s largest voluntary legal membership organisation has reached a membership milestone, surpassing 3000 members – a growth spurt of around 40% compared to its opening membership.

Since late 2012, ADLSI has had a national focus. It has attracted members from around the country as well as growing its Auckland membership, says ADLSI President, Brian Keene QC.

“We have initially concentrated our efforts to grow our presence in the regions including Hamilton, Tauranga, Christchurch and Dunedin with good results. Progressively we will be looking further afield.”

This growth in membership comes from ADLSI’s dynamic and innovative organisation. It makes important contributions to the development of new legislation and legal issues important to the community. It also supports lawyers - regardless of career stage - to achieve their professional and collegial goals.

“At the forefront of this is our market leading legal education (CPD) offering. We have grown a strong focus on technology-enabled courses. These have progressed from seminars, attended in person, to webinars and on-demand sessions which can be accessed anytime, anywhere and on almost any device. We recently introduced live streaming of two hour seminars which has been exceptionally well received.

“ADLSI’s independence means we are uniquely positioned to be a vocal and authoritative protagonist in matters of justice and law.

“We are proud to recognise this important membership milestone, but know that there is always more to do. We have a comprehensive programme of activity planned for 2015 and look forward to being of ongoing service to our members,” says Keene.
