Professionals in rural practise will benefit from joining CLA


You should be a member of the CLA

You are probably aware of the CLA’s role in fighting for the rural economy. Are you aware, however, of how much the CLA can benefit you both as a rural professional and as a firm

The CLA ensures you can provide a more effective and cost efficient service to your clients whilst enabling you to market your own business more effectively across the whole rural economy.


What you, and your firm, get as a member

Invaluable up-to-date knowledge – ensuring you are kept fully abreast of all legislative, economic and political developments as they happen, saving you hours of research time.
Advice from the experts – from the CLA’s in-house barristers, surveyors, planning and tax specialists and your regional team on all generic aspects of landowning.
Free case advice for CLA member clients – if your client is also a CLA member you can get specific free professional case-related advice from our land use, legal and tax teams.
New business opportunities – from networking with local and regional landowners, involvement in CLA events to featuring in the CLA’s printed and online business directory.
Working to protect your interests – all those working in the rural economy cannot complain about the law if we do not act together vigorously to defend our interests.

Sharing ideas – an unrivalled national network where you can share ideas and best practice. You are also eligible to join CLA London Branch which allows you to meet, exchange views, form alliances and share experience with others outside your region.
Unique multidisciplinary approach – unlike your own professional institute or association, the CLA offers a unique multidisciplinary approach to rural matters offering new insights and approaches.

The CLA makes a real difference. Anyone who makes their living in the countryside will benefit from joining the CLA – membership will pay for itself over and over again.
