Organizational Pricing Program
Enrollment for current ALA members is now CLOSED
Organizational Pricing is a dues model that’s based on the total number of attorneys across an entire organization, including all office locations in any country. It delivers better value for organizations of all sizes and offers the new ability
to extend ALA membership to all legal management professionals who can benefit from ALA’s resources — without any additional dues payment required.
How will this new option benefit your organization? Here are some of the top features:
- May save your organization money compared to your current ALA membership dues investment.
- Allows you to extend ALA member benefits to an unlimited number of employees.
- Expands your organization’s professional development program by including ALA resources.
- Supports development of next-generation leaders.
- Creates efficiency through a single payment by the organization.
ALA membership and what it includes for each individual now will remain exactly the same — your individual membership belongs to you and will follow you for the yearlong membership term. For example, if you change employers and the new organization is not participating in the program, your membership will automatically revert to an individual membership for the remainder of the year. Your employer also benefits by retaining the ability to add a new person at any time throughout the term.
To see your organization’s current member roster with ALA:
- Log in to alanet.org.
- Click back on MY ACCOUNT and select “Account Details” in the drop-down menu.
- Click on “My Directories” tab in the blue navigation bar.
- Click on “Members” in the secondary blue navigation bar that opens below.
- Enter enough information in the “company starts with” search field, omitting commas, to locate your organization’s member records.
Here are examples of how to use the data:
Example 1: Organization currently has 350 attorneys and 10 ALA members at a dues cost of $439 each, equal to a current annual investment of $4,390. Per Table A dues based on attorney count, the new investment is $3,199, saving $1,191 and allowing unlimited added employee members. Example 2: Organization currently has 5 attorneys and 1 ALA member at a dues cost of $439 annually. Per Table A dues based on attorney count, the new dues rate is $399, saving $40 and offering the ability to add additional members at any point throughout the term. Example 3: Organization is a corporate legal department with 75 attorneys worldwide and one current ALA member. Per Group 2 dues, the company would pay $399 annually, saving $40 off the individual dues rate and gaining the ability to add an unlimited number of members from any location.

Organizational Pricing is a dues model that’s based on the number of attorneys within an entire organization (i.e., all office locations, including international, of an organization = "entire organization"). It’s meant to deliver better value for membership and to encourage organizations to extend ALA membership to all legal management professionals who can benefit from ALA’s offerings. Please visit the FAQs page for more information on this opportunity to support your organization's professional development efforts by bringing ALA membership to an expanded group of legal management professionals within your entire organization for one annual dues cost.
In this model, all qualified employees of an organization are eligible to become ALA members at no additional cost to the organization and may be added at any time throughout the active membership term. Individuals may choose to join ALA under an Individual Pricing model if their employer is not enrolled in Organizational Pricing or if they prefer to do so.
- Your membership is still yours and will remain active for the remainder of the year if you leave your organization, or your employment status changes for any reason.
- There is no budget impact around adding a second, third, fourth, etc. member, nor are there any issues in transferring membership when an employee leaves the organization.
- There is nothing about this program that impacts your membership at the chapter level. If anything, it will provide an increased opportunity to welcome new members to the chapter.
- It offers your organization a ready-made transition plan, as you can use ALA resources to develop your next leaders.
- It supports your organization’s professional development program and casts a broader net (diverse talent offers diverse development) for the firm and for you.
Organizational Pricing Program dues are based on international attorney count and organization type.
Lawyer counts are full-time-equivalent (FTE) figures for the most recent calendar year. Temporary and contract attorneys are not included. Retired partners and of counsel are not counted unless they are earning revenue for the organization.

Example 2: Your entire organization employs 350 attorneys and currently has 10 ALA members; total dues were $4,390 for the current membership year.

Example 3: Organization is a corporate legal department with 75 attorneys worldwide and one current ALA member. Per Group 2 dues, the company would pay $399 annually, saving $40 off the individual dues rate and gaining the ability to add an unlimited number of members from any location.
