WCLA offers “bundle memberships” to law firms with more than one attorney with a WCLA membership. Simply contact Judy Pfeiffer by email - WCLA@navandassoc.com or by phone - 708-338-0760 to set one up for your firm.

A “bundle membership” is a collection of members who are linked together and managed by one of their members or an administrator.

Advantages of a bundled membership:

One administrator for all memberships in the firm.
Each member will have their own separate login but will not be burdened with the renewal paperwork.
The entire bundle is charged a single membership fee ($300 per member), which is paid by the bundle administrator.
The bundle administrator can modify a bundle member's profile.
