Fourth CIS Local Counsel Forum

June 24^th - 26^th, 2009, Kyiv, Ukraine

The American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine is pleased to inform the Membership about its partnership with a RULG-Ukrainian Legal Group in the framework of the fourth CIS Local Counsel Forum, which will be held in Kyiv on June 24^th - 26^th at the exquisite Opera Hotel.

The Forum meetings bring together leading business lawyers from the CIS economic region and from around the world, with an approximately equal split between representatives of the international legal community and of the CIS legal community. The Delegates share the Mission of the Forum - "Bringing together the CIS and international legal communities with the aim of creating joint business opportunities and long-term cooperation". This Mission reflects the 21st century reality, in which global investors view the CIS countries as a broad and dynamic economic region with intertwined business connections and comparable legal systems. The motto of the Forum is "Know Your Local Counsel - Recognize an Opportunity".

The Forum allows the Delegates to share, in an open and friendly spirit, the latest legal and economic news from their jurisdictions, and to establish important business contacts. The Forum meetings in Kyiv, Baku and St Petersburg demonstrated the huge demand among CIS law firms for on-going communication and business cooperation, as well as the international legal community's serious interest in the CIS region.

Registration is now open online.

More information on the Forum, its Mission and Concept is available on the Forum's web-site. The website provides you with detailed information about a valuable database of the best CIS Local Counsel Firms (CIS Local Counsel Questionnaires), media coverage and comments from the Delegates, as well as comprehensive information about every Forum, including the Programs, Lists of Delegates and Guests, Bios and Presentations of Moderators and Panelists and wonderful pictures, which reflect the open and exciting spirit of the Forum. The draft Program is already available online. Please see the Official Letter of Invitation from the organizers here.
