Welcome to CLIG
Since 1976 the City Legal Information Group (CLIG) has been supporting legal information professionals in and around London. We regularly organise topical and social events with the aim of helping information professionals network and share their thoughts and experiences.
From small beginnings, we have now grown to a large membership, representing all sectors of the profession. If you are a legal information professional, please take a look at our current events calendar and membership benefits. Our membership fee is very modest and we offer a lot in return.

CLIG warmly invites you to our reflection on legal information careers. The last 16 or so months have forced cognitive shifts and perspective changes on all of us. Whether you’ve had career plans halted due to the pandemic or have had quiet time enough to meditate on the possibility of change, or perhaps you’ve spent so much time working remotely you feel you’ve lost touch with the wider perspective of what peers and colleagues are doing.
