Who are They?

CILEx provides education, training and the development of skills for chartered legal executives, those undertaking law apprenticeships, chartered legal executive practitioners and other members of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives, as well as those who wish to become more proficient and knowledgeable in the law.

The Chartered Institute of Legal Executives has around 20,000 members who are either trainee or qualified chartered legal executive lawyers (7,500 are Fellows and so fully qualified lawyers). Over 92,500 people have chosen CILEx as their route to become a lawyer, and on average, 75% of our members are women, and around 13% of all our members are black or of an ethnic minority (compared to 7.9% for the UK population as a whole).

For more than 50 years, they have been offering unparalleled access to a flexible career in law. They work closely with Government and the Ministry of Justice and are recognised in England and Wales as one of the three core approved regulators of the legal profession alongside barristers and solicitors.

Founded in 1892, the Institute of Legal Executives became a company limited by guarantee in 1963 with the support and co-operation of the Law Society. On 30 January 2012, they became incorporated by Royal Charter and are now known as the ‘Chartered Institute of Legal Executives’. In 2013, they celebrated 50 years of legal careers.
