The Commerce & Industry Group (as recognised by the  Law Society) is an Unincorporated Association (UA) formed  by in-house solicitors for in-house solicitors, and is administered  by a Committee (for a full list of the Committee click here).  The UA makes representations to the Law Society, Government Departments and other organisations on issues that affect its members. The UA also organises events for its seven Regional Groups – North West, North East, Tyne Tees, London, Midlands, Central and Thames Valley To become a member of the UA, a registration form needs to be completed online.
