The IBC Legal Conferences' portfolio of events delivers cutting-edge updates on the business-critical legal, commercial and operational developments that shape the daily work of the legal markets.
Our competition law conferences are widely acclaimed as delivering the most pertinent information in the events market, from a top-level panel of speakers. Amongst other sectors, our intellectual property, media and construction law events have a similarly long-standing and respected presence.
Whilst the majority of events are held in London and Brussels, programmes are increasingly being delivered further afield including Asia and the Middle East. Delegates are typically senior within their role and are from private practice, government and public bodies, with a high proportion of in-house professionals attending.
When you attend an IBC Legal conference you will benefit from a thoroughly-researched programme, delivered by leading experts in the field, and an event structure that offers the invaluable opportunity to network with event participants. We offer a range of event formats; encompassing summer schools for in-depth legal training, legislative update conferences, strategic forums to examine new approaches and workshops to focus in on hot topics and complex issues.
Our sister division Informa Professional Academy works in partnership with leading academic bodies to assist in the provision of highly specialised and bespoke professional postgraduate distance learning courses. Our strong partnerships with King’s College London and Leicester De Montfort Law School have developed over twelve and seventeen years respectively and together we offer and deliver high-calibre and well-respected distance learning postgraduate courses.
