Launching today an exciting new programme for affiliate members. LexAlba Masterclass is a practical, enjoyable and sociable network of practice area groups, where WS affiliates can develop their careers in a specialist practice area, meeting, sharing experience and learning in an independent forum under the guidance of recognised leaders in the field.

In-house solicitor Sophie Mills of the WS Society explains: ‘Each practice area group will run for two years, meeting three times in each year. A new group will form every two years. There is scope of inter-practice area sessions in some areas, such as law firm finance. There will also be a continuing involvement, with alumni getting together for an annual social event’.

Joining a LexAlba Masterclass is open to all affiliates members of the WS Society and included with the annual subscription. There is no additional cost. Numbers in each group will be limited to a maximum of 15 so early application is recommended.
