These prestigious speakers will share their point of view based on the following elements: In an internationalised legal world, a growing number of Bars are becoming aware of the role new technologies will play in the future development of their professional activities. The increasing use of new technologies is inevitable the dematerialisation of proceedings, video-conferencing and communication between fellow-members stand proof. However, the "new lawyers" in this new environment need to gain command over the possible hazards and be able to ensure that ethics are safeguarded in these new ways of practicing law. Some countries industrialised countries have sophisticated techniques and a low growth rates. Others emerging countries have high growth rates and techniques that need to be improved. How can all this be reconciled and how can true competition be ensured with equal opportunity between colleagues. We look forward to welcoming you to Istanbul.
