About ALA Boston

Boston Chapter Overview

The Boston Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators was chartered in 1974 and today has more than 200 members throughout Massachusetts. Our membership is comprised of large and small private law firms as well as Corporate and Governmental legal departments.

The goal of the Association is to provide personal and professional growth and educational and networking opportunities to Administrators and Legal Managers with varied legal backgrounds. Additionally, we inform the legal profession regarding the advantages and availability of Professional Administrators.

Membership includes a variety of programs, publications and networking activities:

  • Monthly meetings are an opportunity to network with other members and guests who represent a variety of different sized law firms and management functions. Many members find networking the greatest asset.
  • Educational programs are developed by a committee of peers who sponsor speakers at each of the luncheons or afternoon sessions with the goal of enhancing management skills and on occasion, just having fun. Volunteers in specific management areas sponsor "brown bag" lunches at their firms to discuss specific topics of interest in a more informal setting, (e.g. human resources, technology, facilities, retirement programs, small firms, etc.).

Being a member of ALA Boston Chapter has its advantages including: educational programs, monthly meetings, a job bank, special interest group programs and events. Learn more and become a member today.
