2026 SLR CLIENT MASTER LIST

SLR is currently updating the master list of clients represented by our member firms. This list will only be made available to SLR members through the password-protected, SLR Member Area on our website.

The purpose of compiling the master list of clients is to provide increased opportunities for business development and collaboration among members. The list will allow members to see if prospective clients are currently represented by any fellow SLR members that could assist with making an introduction or referral. Participation in the SLR Client List is optional.

Please ensure that you have appropriate permissions to disclose your clients’ company names before submitting them. Also be aware that disclosure of your client list may warrant requests from fellow SLR members for introductions to your clients.

Please send your list to Hannah in the next week if you wish to be included. We will be finalizing the document in early February.
