Annual Conference 2025

Lawyering in a Phase of Upheaval

We are delighted to announce that the 2025 Annual Conference of the European Circuit of the Bar will take place in The Hague, a city at the heart of global justice and international law.

This year's conference will explore some of the most urgent challenges of our time through expert panels on:

International Criminal Law Climate Justice Technology & Law Migration International Family Law

We will also welcome Bar Leaders from across Europe including from the UK, Ireland, the Czech Republic, and France, to speak on the protection of lawyers and developments in international legal frameworks.

Open to all legal community members including barristers, solicitors, advocates, judges, academics, and students from across Europe and beyond, the Annual Conference is the premier event for cross-border legal minds.

As ever, the programme includes a visit to a local court - this year, the International Criminal Court - alongside exceptional networking opportunities, a drinks reception, and the much-anticipated gala dinner.

Last year in Bordeaux, we welcomed delegates from over a dozen countries - this year, join us in The Hague as we tackle today’s global legal challenges together.
