The International Bar Association is pleased to announce that for the first time in it's history it is accepting law firm advertisements in IBA publications and law firm sponsorship of IBA conference socials.

The new policy provides increased opportunities for law firms of all sizes to access the IBA’s 16,000 members on a regular basis. Through the placement of advertisements and the sponsorship of conferences, law firms are now able to reach both an extremely diverse group of senior international lawyers as well as an extremely targeted group of specialists via the IBA’s committees and specialist functions.

This fundamental change in policy is the direct result of the internationalisation of the legal profession, and the changing views of the IBA’s membership base, and we hope you will welcome this new opportunity with open arms.

The first opportunity to gain access to these new promotional channels is the June 2004 edition of the IBA’s flagship publication, International Bar News. Naturally, there are a limited number of places, so we would encourage you to be in touch as soon as possible. Finally, we have a variety of discounts in place for bulk orders, or for organisations that wish to select a number of promotional opportunities such as journal advertisements, online advertisements and conference sponsorship.

We appreciate your kind consideration, and look forward to speaking with you in the near future.
