Membership Benefits

Being a part of the ILEX family gives you the protection of an organisation that is;

  • a professional body
  • a front line regulator
  • an awarding body.

Being regulated by ILEX Professional Standards (IPS) is a first-rate membership benefit in itself. Regulations brings with it respect and recognition, it differentiates you from those in the legal profession that do not belong to a recognised professional body and ensures high standards of quality from ILEX professionals.

ILEX Head Office staff are committed to maintaining high levels of customer service. Read our Customer Service Standards and our Customer Service Statement here.

As a graduate of ILEX you will have the right to use specific lettering after your name. An Associate member has A.Inst.L.Ex, a Graduate member has G.Inst.L.Ex and a Fellow is known as F.Inst.L.Ex.

More information on Membership grades can be found here.

Membership of ILEX also brings with it a portfolio of valuable services and benefits to support our members both professionally and personally.
