Message from the Chair of the Legal Practice Division About the Legal Practice Division (LPD) The LPD comprises more than 50 committees and fora, listed on pages 21–27 of this programme, which cover all specialist areas of substantive legal practice as well as focusing on regional matters and the interests of corporate counsel. LPD committees are grouped into 16 sections with common interests. To make heard the global voice of the legal profession, committees of the LPD regularly submit comments on pending legislation and regulation schemes and reforms all over the world, affecting many different practice areas. Working groups monitor activity by key regulators and identify opportunities for comment, particularly where there is potential international or cross-border impact, or where a new scheme is being piloted. They also work together with various intergovernmental world organisations to contribute the legal profession’s viewpoint. Committees also work together on projects to benefit their practitioners: guidelines for best practice, model rules and checklists, training proposals and databases to collate and share information. Many sections and committees hold specialist conferences throughout the year, and produce publications for their members. More information on the Legal Practice Division is available at www.ibanet.org/Committees/Divisions/Legal_Practice/ home.aspx Iam delighted to welcome you to Dublin for the IBA’s 2012 Annual Conference. Once again, the Legal Practice Division (LPD) has put together an impressive range of sessions addressing the cutting edge issues faced by international practitioners in the current global economic environment. In addition to covering ‘hot topics’ in virtually all specific areas of practice, our Regional Fora and committees will be addressing the broad spectrum of issues raised by developments in investment and trading activities in emerging economies, regional and bilateral agreements, and what they mean for the clients we advise. Continuing economic integration and globalisation are creating the need for a global mobile workforce and fundamentally changing employment relationships. We will have sessions addressing the legal, regulatory and policy issues that will need to be navigated in this environment. Our sessions will also focus on governmental and regulatory responses to the impact on our environment and sustainable development posed by global industrialisation and population growth. We will also continue to address the issues in the pervasive use of social media and the fast adoption of new communication devices and channels, and, looking ahead, how the law may need to evolve to adapt to this environment. And of course, we will address the continuing and far reaching impact of the prolonged global economic downturn on businesses and sovereign entities. Consistent with this theme, the LPD, with our European Regional Forum, will present its Showcase session on Tuesday morning titled ‘The euro area crisis – thinking the unthinkable’ where we will address the crises in the euro area that have exposed the European and national legal systems to issues not considered before. Leading regulators, financiers and lawyers will provide insight into the difficult discussions looking for solutions. In addition to our sessions, we will have a special lecture on Friday by Mary Robinson in memoriam of George Seward, the first President of what is now the Legal Practice Division. Mrs Robinson, the first woman President of Ireland and formerly the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, is the current chair of the Council of Women World Leaders and is the President of the Mary Robinson Foundation – Climate Justice. Alongside these hardworking days, I hope that you will spend some time enjoying our very special programme of social events which feature the cultural best Dublin has to offer, including the spectacular opening and closing parties. The IBA Annual Conference is a special opportunity each year for international practitioners in every field to bring together expertise, share perspectives and help shape the way we solve the issues facing us. It is also a special opportunity to enjoy the pleasure of reconnecting with old friends and making new ones.
