Enhance Your Career. In the day-to-day hustle of serving clients and meeting billable hours, it's easy to forget about yourself...your career...your future. CBA membership can help you expand your network of colleagues, develop business contacts, strengthen your legal skills and enhance your resume.

"I joined the CBA to meet lawyers outside my firm and to take advantage of the litigation training opportunities. I never envisioned that the CBA would also give me opportunities to develop my leadership skills and to establish client relationships."
Victor P. Henderson, Partner, Holland & Knight LLP

"My involvement with the CBA is one of the best decisions I ever made. The CBA not only helped me grow professionally but it has brought me lifelong friendships and mentors."
Aurora Abella-Austriaco, Of Counsel, Peck Bloom Austriaco & Miller LLC

Come Together. The power of the CBA is its ability to harness the expertise and experiences of its 22,000 members. Regardless of your practice setting, the CBA can help you serve your clients and yourself through a wide-range of membership services and benefits.

"Some of my closest friends and colleagues are people I have worked with at the CBA. It is vital, not only to feel connected to the lawyers who make this organization a success, but also to be an active part of all the good the CBA does."
Robert A. Clifford, Clifford Law Offices P.C.

"In addition to numerous speaking and leadership opportunities, as a government attorney, the CBA has afforded me unlimited opportunities to develop relationships with colleagues in other practice settings. Through the Association's networking and educational events, I have created many important professional and personal relationships, which ultimately make me a better lawyer."
Anita M. Alvarez, Cook County State's Attorney's Office

"Through my participation in the Young Lawyers Section, I have gained invaluable leadership skills, which in turn has helped advance my career. As an attorney who has worked in both a large firm and now as in-house counsel, the Section's events, committees and career activities, have provided me with unparalleled access to Chicago's top practitioners and legal resources."
Daniel A. Cotter, Argonaut Select Markets
