Membership
If you are a solicitor (practicing or non-practicing) working in construction, engineering or construction technology – whether in-house or private practice, contentious and/or non-contentious, TECSA membership is potentially open to you, subject to the eligibility criteria.
Our prestigious TECSA membership is open to solicitors operating in all areas of construction and engineering together with the burgeoning area of technology in construction – whether contentious, non-contentious or in-house counsel.
For rising stars less than 10 years qualified, we offer membership via TECSA 10s which offers a dynamic programme of events built around your needs.
TECSA has built up an enviable reputation as a peer-led community for the very best practitioners in the industry, focused on excellence and advancing legal knowledge and skills in every facet of this ever-evolving sector.
However, we can’t be complacent. We are committed to increasing the diversity of TECSA and are constantly evolving, just as the sector that we all know and have chosen to work in, is doing.
TECSA looks forward to welcoming professionals with a passion for construction law who want to shape the future.
