For over 50 years the Commercial Law Association of Australia (CLA) has been a quiet achiever serving the interests of practitioners in both commerce and law.

Since its establishment in 1965, the CLA has continued to provide networking and educational opportunities for those involved in legal and business sectors. The Association is recognised as a leader in the provision of quality continuing professional development including seminars, workshops and conferences.

The CLA's mission is to encourage and develop knowledge and understanding of law usages and practices in Australia and overseas. The Association plays an important role in providing information and encouraging debate on important issues.

Continuing professional development

The CLA's lunchtime and half-day seminars along with our on-line CPD content promote a comprehensive range of commercial law topics featuring leading practitioners as speakers. Seminars are usually held at the NSW State Library, with other venues used for some special co-sponsored events.

Commercial Law Quarterly

The Commercial Law Quarterly has been continually published for over 35 years and is recognised as a major reference source within the legal profession. Back issues of the Quarterly are available on-line through the CLQ Library.
