Constituent Projects

Some of our on-going projects include:

• organising roadshows to bring law firm management expertise to lawyers in less-privileged jurisdictions
• developing stronger ties with other professional organisations including making our most sought-after speakers available for seminars organised by them
• forging closer alliances within the IBA to promote joint seminars, benefit from the tremendous wealth of expertise and experience that exists elsewhere in the organisation and encourage networking

Law Firm Governance Initiative - Best Practices Guidelines

On October 18, 2007, the Law Firm Management Committee and IBA Group Members finalized “Best Practice Guidelines” for law firm governance.  These guidelines identify certain general principles and standards that may help law firms manage their practices in a way that will provide an optimal environment (i) for lawyers in which to work and develop their skills and (ii) for law firms to stand up to the challenges they face, some of which include the increasing power of governments, the increasing complexity and intrusiveness of regulation, the weakness of the processes of justice, corruption, social change and evolving societal expectations.  The “Best Practice Guidelines” include recommendations for law firms vis-à-vis their employees, clients and the community at large.  Click here to view the entire text of the guidelines.
