How to join MASS – Associate Membership
Do you qualify for Associate Membership?
Associate Membership is only open to individuals who provide professional services to the Personal Injury legal industry.
This opportunity is aimed at independent barristers, mediators and costs draftsmen. We may in future open the opportunity to other industry individuals who can demonstrate relevant expertise.*
Organisations can’t join as an Associate Member.
Applicants need to be able to demonstrate that:
- they have an association with a personal injury ‘practice’, i.e. accept or undertake motor personal injury work within their own discipline
- as an individual in their area of expertise, they deal with a minimum of ten motor personal injury claim instructions per year and have an appropriate degree of expertise in handling/overseeing/processing such claims.
Applicants must agree to adhere to the Associates’ Code of Conduct and MASS Articles of Association, in particular, the Society’s stated objectives.
*This is in addition to the discretion provided to the Management Committee by paragraphs 18.4 and 19.6 of our Articles of Association.
What you need to do
Once you’re happy that you meet the criteria, you should complete our short application form and email it to the MASS Office. You’ll need to include a statement explaining why you believe you meet the Associate Membership criteria and contact details of a MASS member who will support your application.
Please refer to the MASS Privacy Policy to see what information we hold and how we use it.
How much will it cost?
Cost of Associate Membership is £250 a year. There is no initial joining fee and membership is on a rolling basis – i.e. 12 months from joining.
What happens next
We’ll contact you to complete the process, which will include a short telephone interview with the relevant MASS Regional Co-ordinator.
