Section and Committee information 26 Real Estate Committee 46 Council Liaison Officer Luis Moreno Haynes and Boone, Mexico City, Mexico Chair Martin Holler Giese & Partner, Prague, Czech Republic The Real Estate Committee is the only truly international forum for lawyers interested in real estate law and comprises nearly 700 members. The recent globalisation of the real estate industry has fundamentally changed the committee’s focus. While real estate assets are traditionally governed by national rules, real estate transactions have long ceased to be a purely national matter. Today, the ownership of properties is traded among investors around the globe. Increasing internationalisation of all aspects of real estate law has also changed the types of lawyers involved. In this evolving context, the committee provides a unique and valuable forum for lawyers from different countries and different legal backgrounds to address all sorts of practical and legal issues, exchange views and meet during conferences. Taxation Section 46–47 Council Liaison Officers Edgar H Paltzer Niederer Kraft & Frey, Zurich, Switzerland Carola van den Bruinhorst Loyens & Loeff, Hong Kong SAR The Taxation Section has over 1,300 members around the world. Individual Tax and Private Client 47 Chair Helen Darling MacFarlanes, London, England This committee is concerned with not only what the law is but how it might develop internationally in: inheritance rights and succession rules; will making; lifetime giving; trusts; creditor claims against trusts and estates; and regulatory compliance affecting trusts. Taxes 47 Co-Chairs Stuart Chessman Vivendi, New York, USA Albert Collado Garrigues, Barcelona, Spain The Taxes Committee offers its members access to the highest quality technical, practical and professional tax expertise to understand and find solutions to international tax issues and concerns, encourages interface between international tax specialists, and promotes the building of networks among tax lawyers worldwide. The committee is divided informally into four practice group areas – income taxes, other taxes, tax litigation and employee benefits. IBA Fora 40–41 African Regional Forum 40 Council Liaison Officers Jacob Arko Saah Saah and Company, Accra, Ghana Desmond Williams Werksmans Attorneys, Johannesburg, South Africa Chair Ashwin Hirjee Trikamjee Garlicke & Bousefield, Umhlanga, South Africa The problems facing African lawyers are different from those affecting lawyers in other regions. To this end, the African Regional Forum was created to identify and address these challenges. Arab Regional Forum 40 Council Liaison Officers Hassan Arab Al Tamimi & Company, Dubai, UAE Sylvia Khatcherian Morgan Stanley, New York, USA; Chair, Legal Practice Division Co-Chairs Sadiq Jafar Hadef & Partners, Dubai, UAE Fady Kardous Kardous Law Office, Damascus, Syrian Arab Republic This forum provides a network for lawyers who work in or have an interest in the Arab region, to establish contact and exchange information.

Corporate Counsel Forum 40 Council Liaison Officers Pii Ketvel Marcol Capital Europe/Clyde & Co, Luxembourg Sylvia Khatcherian Morgan Stanley, New York, USA; Chair, Legal Practice Division Chair Catherine Muldoon BDP International Inc, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA The Corporate Counsel Forum is the pre-eminent forum for discussion, education and spokesmanship for corporate counsel within the IBA. Through its conference sessions and publications, it looks at the most topical issues for corporate counsel in all legal fields, as the responsibilities and complexities of the role continue to increase. European Regional Forum 40 Council Liaison Officers Hendrik Haag Hengeler Mueller, Frankfurt am Main, Germany Pii Ketvel Marcol Capital Europe/Clyde & Co, Luxembourg Co-Chairs Dovile Burgiene LAWIN, Vilnius, Lithuania Gianmatteo Nunziante Nunziante Magrone, Rome, Italy The forum develops and strengthens the existence of the IBA within the whole of Europe by promoting the goals of the IBA to members, non-members and others, disseminating professional know-how, and assisting the committees and other constituencies of the IBA to increase their presence in the different sub-regions of Europe, including parts of North Africa and the Middle East. The goals of the forum include addressing current and longterm needs of professional organisations and individual members within the geographical reach of the forum, as well as increasing membership and participation in the IBA and integrating them within the organisation. The forum will also facilitate cross-border activity between lawyers and bars in different European countries. The forum has a particular focus on cross-disciplinary activities.

The advent of several anti-corruption conventions has brought about the enactment of new anti-corruption laws in scores of countries. Aggressive enforcement, including extraterritorial enforcement of national laws and a wide range of anti-corruption initiatives, has brought this issue to the forefront worldwide. North American Regional Forum 41 Council Liaison Officers Jon Grouf Duane Morris, New York, USA Lynda J Zadra-Symes Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear, Irvine, California, USA Co-Chairs Laura Christa Christa & Jackson, Los Angeles, California, USA Paul Lalonde Heenan Blaikie, Toronto, Ontario, Canada The North American Regional Forum covers Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the United States and English-speaking areas of the Caribbean. The aim of the North American Forum is two-fold: to spread knowledge about legal practice within North America; and to expand the international perspective of lawyers practising in North America. Bar Issues Commission 48–49 Council Liaison Officers Horacio Bernardes Neto Motta Fernandes Rocha Advogados, São Paulo, Brazil; Chair, Bar Issues Commission Policy Committee; Vice-Chair, Bar Issues Commission James Klotz Miller Thomson, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Margery Nicoll Chair James Klotz The Bar Issues Commission (BIC) supports the activities and interests of the IBA’s Member Organisations by providing a forum for discussion on issues of common interest. Through its Policy Committee, the BIC proposes resolutions and guidelines for approval by the IBA Council that are of relevance to Member Organisations. The BIC holds an annual conference in May of each year, presents sessions at the annual conference, has resource pages on the IBA website and provides e-bulletins for its members. Corporate Social Responsibility 49 Council Liaison Officer Oluwatoyin Ajoke Bashorun Churchfields Solicitors, Lagos, Nigeria Co-Chairs Birgit Spiesshofer Salans, Berlin, Germany Kenneth Thompson II Reed Elsevier, Miamisburg, Ohio, USA Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is variously defined but is generally accepted to denote responsibly grounded business decision-making that considers its impact on people, communities and the environment. The increasing emphasis on CSR has particular importance for lawyers both as advisers to their clients and, in the case of law firms, as enterprises in their own right. The committee’s remit therefore includes both an examination of the many CSR-related issues on which business clients may seek legal advice from an in-house counsel or external lawyer and the issues that confront lawyers and law firms in relation to their key stakeholders; partners, staff, clients, their professional regulator and the community in which they practice. The CSR Committee has over 600 members from around the world. Section and Committee information 27
