Description
In this breakfast the IBA SPPI and YLC leadership – together with some extraordinary attorneys – will discuss the role of lawyers in society nowadays and the challenges they face. Among others, we will analyse what makes a good lawyer and what would be the legacy that lawyers want to create for future generations. The session will enable attendees to reflect on what the profession is today, where it is going and what are the distinctive features that will always be there, in spite of any new challenges. It will be an open, alive and motivational dialogue with the purpose of inspiring all lawyers attending the IBA.
