Minster Law supports launch of the Consumer Legal Association to strengthen claimant voice

Minster Law has joined forces with a number of leading claimant law firms to spearhead the creation of a brand-new industry body for the claimant legal sector, the Consumer Legal Association (CLA).

As a not-for-profit organisation, the CLA aims to provide a constructive and credible voice for injured people, bringing together consumer law firms, medical reporting organisations, legal expenses insurers and associated businesses that support the interests of claimants within the civil justice system. Its purpose is to raise standards across the sector, strengthen public confidence and promote positive outcomes for injured people.

Minster Law’s role in helping to shape and launch the CLA reflects its long-standing commitment to championing injured people and contributing positively to the future of the claimant legal sector. As part of this commitment, Minster Law’s Chief Executive Officer Shirley Woolham has taken up the role of Director on the CLA board, working alongside other senior leaders in the sector, to help shape its strategic direction.

Shirley Woolham said: “The creation of the CLA is an important step forward for us and for the claimant legal sector, providing a platform to demonstrate its positive impact to our clients and society.

I am delighted to join the board as one of the directors and I look forward to working with fellow CLA members, to build a constructive and credible leadership voice for injured people, helping our sector better represent them and shine a light on the vital contribution claimant legal services make to our society.”
