We are honoured to participate in the 16th Annual Business Law Forum of the Union Internationale des Avocats (UIA), taking place on June 5–6, 2025 in London, hosted by the esteemed law firm Farrer & Co LLP.
This internationally recognised event brings together leading lawyers, corporate counsel, regulators, and academics from around the world to exchange views on some of the most pressing legal developments shaping today’s global economy. With a particular focus on cross-border partnerships, strategic transactions, and legal innovation, this year’s forum reflects the increasing complexity of international business law in the digital age.
The central theme,
“Partnerships, Cooperation and Strategic Transactions in the Digital Age – Legal and Regulatory Developments, Challenges and Trends,”
addresses a broad range of issues affecting how businesses structure and operate in a digitally driven and highly regulated world.
Topics include:
- Cross-border corporate and M&A structures for investment and real estate
- Regulatory frameworks in banking and international finance
- US financial services compliance
- Emerging contracting models: slow tech and low-code tools
- The future of the International Sale of Goods (ISG)
- Legal strategies for startup investment and venture capital
- AI, IT infrastructure, and digital risk in legal operations
- ESG, CSRD and supply chain responsibility in international transactions
Our firm is proudly represented by Rechtsanwalt Ulrich Baumann and Rechtsanwältin Dr. Anna Tönies-Bambalska, both of whom bring extensive expertise in international commercial law, cross-border compliance, and corporate advisory.
We look forward to a thought-provoking and enriching exchange with fellow professionals from multiple jurisdictions — sharing insights, building partnerships, and contributing to the dialogue on how legal systems can best support innovation, sustainability, and international collaboration.
As the legal profession continues to evolve with unprecedented speed, forums like this are crucial for reflecting, refining, and reimagining our advisory role in a globalised business environment.
A heartfelt thank-you to the UIA, the Law Society of England & Wales, and Farrer & Co LLP for their efforts in making this forum an essential milestone on the international legal calendar.
We look forward to sharing key insights and impressions with our colleagues and clients following the event.
