Who Runs Us?

The Institute is run by a small team of dedicated professionals

We are headed by legal professionals with extensive and wide-ranging experience. Officially, we call ourselves the 'secretariat' which sounds very grand but simply means the team responsible for the day to day management and administration of the Institute.

To keep membership fees as affordable as possible, some of the Secretariat are part-time, unpaid volunteers. UK members who wish to assist in running the Institute are welcome to contact us.

We are advised and assisted by an Advisory Board and an International Advisory Board.
