Since 2001, USLAW Membership has been open only to law firms. With the growth and success of the NETWORK and with many clients seeking a closer affinity to the organization, USLAW Client Membership will now provide additional value to Regional, National and Multinational clients of USLAW member firms.
Client Membership is at no cost to the client member and renewable annually. Each Client Member may designate (1) One Primary Contact and up to (9) Nine Additional Contacts who have access to the membership benefits.
