💡 LEGAL SPOTLIGHT ▪ India: Foreign Lawyers and Foreign Law Firms Permitted Entry in India ▪ ✨ On 10th March 2023, the Bar Council of India modified its rules for the registration and regulation of foreign lawyers and foreign law firms in India, thereby allowing them to practice foreign and international law and international arbitration matters. 💼 This includes corporate works like joint ventures, mergers, and acquisitions, drafting of contracts, and other related matters, based upon the principle of reciprocity in a well-defined, regulated, and controlled manner. 🚫 Appearance before any courts, tribunals, or other statutory or regulatory authorities, undertaking conveyancing of property, title investigation, or similar work, remains strictly prohibited. 🌐 Law practice based on a “fly in and fly out” basis for the purpose of giving legal advice to the client in India regarding foreign law can continue to be practiced by foreign lawyers or a foreign law firm without registration, provided they do not maintain an office in India and that the practice does not exceed 60 days in any period of 12 months. 📰 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gTj6ycFU Barbara Gislason, Steven Richman, Catherine Peulvé, Laura Collada, Marie-Pierre Richard, Anne-Marie Villain #brevesjuridiques #juristeinternational #legalspotlight #brevesjuridicos #lawyers #uiapublications

📣 The UIA is very happy to invite you to Vienna, Austria to attend the 33rd meeting of the UIA World Forum of Mediation Centres on January 17 & 18, 2025. ➡️Whether you are from a place in which mediation already is readily accepted and integrated into the system of dispute resolution, or from one in which the “Dispute Resolution Revolution” is still in a not-yet-fully-accepted stage, there is something of value for you at the Forum. Each one is designed to enhance your knowledge about the mediation process, and to help you identify best practices as a mediator; both of which are accomplished through the various topics in the sessions, typically led by deeply-experienced mediators. 👏 We would like to introduce the members of our organising committee: Fabienne VAN DER VLEUGEL, Ross W. Stoddard, III. 📢 Please save the date! We are looking forward to meeting you in Vienna! #UIAWFMC #UIAVienna #UIAEvents #UIASeminars #UIANetworking Fernando de la Mata, Milagros Poal-Manresa Cantarell, Colette SURIN https://lnkd.in/e9xv7xQ2

📢Register before July 31 to get the early bird rates! 👉 The UIA is pleased to invite you to its seminar in Novi Sad on September 19 & 20 about "Bridging the Gap between Law and Technology: the Role of Lawyers in AI, Digitalization, and Data Protection". 🔎 The increasing impact of technology, particularly artificial intelligence, in our daily personal and professional lives, raises new and unique rights and obligations, which quickly come within the purview of the law and the legal profession. It is up to the lawyers to interpret and apply existing laws, as well as to be catalysts for the creation of future legislation, thereby bridging the gap between technical innovations and legal regulation, which must be primarily aimed at preserving the highest standards of human rights. 🤝🏻Many thanks to our organising committee for such a remarkable programme: Tanja Arsić, Péter Kun, Marc Gallardo and we would like to thank our following partners: Pravni fakultet Univerziteta u Novom Sadu / University of Novi Sad Faculty of Law, Advokatska komora Srbije / Bar Association of Serbia, Advokatska Komora Vojvodine, Vojvodina & Novi Sad Bar Association, Paragraf Lex, Ing-Pro. ⏳ Register before July 31 to get the early bird rates! #UIASerbia #UIAEvents #UIASeminars #UIANetworking Fernando de la Mata, Milagros Poal-Manresa Cantarell, Colette SURIN https://lnkd.in/eXavn-it
