17th Annual Bar Leaders' Conference JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel, București

Once again, this key event will bring together bar leaders from around the globe to discuss the latest developments and thorny issues affecting the legal profession today. This year’s programme will include input from expert panellists and commentators, as well as encouraging interaction from delegates in several roundtable sessions.

Session topics will include:

1. 2024 is ‘the global year of elections’. What should Bars and law societies do during national elections? Heads down or speak up? How can you participate with impact on important issues without being seen as politically partisan?
2. Generative AI could radically alter the practice of law. What are the issues that Bars and law societies should be addressing right now and how?
3. Governance of Bars and law societies. What’s changing and what should Bar Leaders be doing about it?
4. What leadership role can Bars and law societies play on climate change?
