Introduction by the President of the International Bar Association, Fernando Pombo.
I am delighted to invite you to the International Bar Association’s 2008 Annual Conference in Buenos Aires.

From its earliest days, Buenos Aires has been a place of international business, making it an appropriate setting for our own international exchange of legal knowledge and contacts. Its rich history of trade and immigration from all over the globe makes it a superb place for international lawyers to meet and discuss the most current developments in all areas of the legal profession.
