SUMMARY:The challenges of cross border legal practice on the African cont
 inent: a case of harmonising training standards\, ethics and practices w
 ithin the profession? What is the way forward for Africa and the world?
DESCRIPTION:Delivering legal advice across multiple jurisdictions is incr
 easingly challenging due to the substantial number of divergent regulati
 ons applicable to the legal profession across the African continent and 
 the globe in general. As clients become more global and require more int
 egrated\, cross-border service\, some challenges and tensions develop be
 cause of the profession’s framework of qualification and governance orga
 nised by jurisdiction. National bar associations\, law societies and the
  IBA should focus on whether and how ethical\, training and practice sta
 ndards need to be adapted to the current practice of law\, both within t
 heir jurisdictions in Africa and globally. There is the need to for juri
 sdictions to cooperate more closely to ensure that ethical\, training an
 d practice standards are reasonable\, harmonised or mutually recognised 
 for the purposes of regulation and enforcement.\n\n• What is the current
  state of cross-border legal practice in Africa and is it ideal in light
  of the internationalisation of legal practice across Africa and the wor
 ld?\n• With regional integration becoming a reality on the continent\, h
 ow can these existing regulatory barriers be removed or harmonised to fa
 cilitate cross-border legal practice in the region?\n• Are there any exi
 sting models of regulation that facilitate cross-border legal practice i
 n other regions of the world.\n• What is the way forward for the regulat
 ion and/or facilitation of cross-border legal practice in Africa and the
  world in the light of regional integration and the internationalisation
  of legal practice?\n\n
