— GALA Associate Membership Application Package —

Founded in 1998, the Global Advertising Lawyers Alliance (GALA) began as an alliance of lawyers located in law firms throughout the world with expertise and experience in advertising, marketing, and promotion law. The membership continues today to serve as a leading worldwide resource to individuals and corporations interested in answers to questions and solutions to problems involving the complex legal issues affecting advertisers and marketers.

Among other things, GALA offers access to experienced practitioners of advertising, marketing, intellectual property, entertainment and promotion law and facilitates “one stop” international marketing clearance advice.  With GALA members at their side, one can be confident that marketing material in all categories - from radio, TV and print to the Internet - conforms to legal requirements, as well as clearance of international activities within the intellectual property and entertainment endeavors.

GALA’s membership structure is designed for one member law firm per country.  Currently, GALA has 50 member firms from countries in all global regions.  The Alliance is divided into three regions: the Americas, Asia Pacific & Africa, and Europe.  GALA members meet once per year at a global meeting and once or twice per year regionally.  In between meetings, members keep in regular contact, working as a team on international assignments for shared clients, exchanging information about the latest global marketing law developments, and collectively presenting at seminars and workshops.

Associate Membership is now available to any corporation’s in-house attorneys or advertising professionals interested in advertising and marketing law issues. Associate Member dues are $1,000 per year and cover all in-house attorneys and marketing professionals in a corporation. These dues offer Associate Members access to the many resources GALA has to offer, including its libraries of written materials and visual aids to seminars.  Associate Membership in GALA provides corporations with a unique legal resource and opportunity to network with the leading practitioners in the world.  Upon receipt and acceptance of an application, GALA will send an invoice for the required dues.
