The Institute of Legal Executives (ILEX) is the professional body which represents 22, 000 trainee and practicing Legal Executives. Our role is to enhance the role and standing of Legal Executives in the legal profession.

For almost fifty years, we have been offering unparalleled access to a flexible career in law. We work closely with Government and the Ministry of Justice and are recognised in England and Wales as one of the three core regulators of the legal profession alongside barristers and solicitors.

ILEX was founded in 1892 and became a company limited by guarantee in 1963 with the support and co-operation of the Law Society. Currently ILEX has branches throughout England and Wales and many members overseas.
