How do I become a member?
Please fill in the membership form on the "Apply to become a member" tab.
What are the membership requirements?
Please note that, while the admission of a member is at the discretion of the Committee, typically members must be practising lawyers (whether solicitors, chartered legal executives, barristers or other) who operate in the contentious trusts and estates field of practice and cannot have been a partner, partner equivalent (e.g., a director) or KC for more than two years at the point of applying to become a member. Only members of the association can attend our seminars and other social events, but the annual international conference is open to non-members.
Can I continue to be a member if I am promoted to partner or take silk?
Yes, the membership rules apply at the point of application only.
Is there a membership fee?
No, ConTrA membership is free.
Do I have to pay to attend the events?
The seminars and social events are free to attend for ConTrA members. The summer school, Staycation conference and the Trusts in Litigation conference have an associated fee, which is subsidised for ConTrA members.
Are there formal rules for ConTrA?
Yes, ConTrA is an unincorporated association with formal rules. These can be provided to any member upon request.
How do I update my membership details if I change firm/chambers?
