The Institute of Legal Accountants of Ireland

Wellfield House, Blessington Road, Naas, Co. Kildare. 087 9562799 . Sponsored by Vodafone

BACKGROUND

The Institute of Legal Accountants of Ireland was founded in 1986 by a group of people who recognised the need to establish and maintain standards for Legal Accounting in Ireland.
The institute's membership currently includes accountants, solicitors, book-keepers, computer operators and computer suppliers. The Institute has close links to the Law Society of Ireland.
The Institute holds a two-day annual conference in September each year. Details of our last conference in Kilkenny are here. Details of our next Conference on 12th September in Cork are here. These conferences offer a comprehensive programme of topical presentations and events relevant to those working in legal accounting and practice administration. The conference also provides a useful forum for exchange of views between members.
The Institute's members receive a bi-monthly publication called Legal Abacus.
The Institute is run by a Committee of five people who are elected each year at the Annual General Meeting which is held in the Law Society in Dec-Jan each year. The Institute also holds a members meeting in Apr-May each year. Members meetings normally include a presentation on a current topic of interest.
In 1990 the Institute formed an association with The Institute of Legal Cashiers and Administrators in England and Wales and this has proved beneficial to both Institutes. In 1998 our Institute also established links with the Society of Law Accountants in Scotland.
Examination programmes leading to formal qualification are arranged through the UK Institute and we have a number of members who have passed these examinations.
