About BILA

BILA is a unique organisation, its membership being drawn from Insurers, Insurance Brokers and other intermediaries, Academic Lawyers, Solicitors and Barristers. In addition to UK members, there are many from all over the world. BILA is not only a domestic organisation, it is also the British Chapter of Association International de Driot des Assurances (AIDA) and is an active participant in its quadrennial world congress.

BILA holds regular talks and Conferences on insurance law topics, often with speakers from overseas. It produces technical papers on a wide range of subjects for various bodies, including Government and Law Reform Commissions. BILA also publishes a journal three times per year, which contains articles of interest to insurance practitioners. As the organiser of the London Colloquia which are held every two to three years, BILA has not only been host to insurers and insurance lawyers from all over the world, but has been responsible for initiating many changes to the world of insurance.

BILA's Charitable Trust assists students to attend Conferences and awards the Annual BILA Book Prize.

BILA's talks and Conferences qualify for continuing education points.
