AIJA in a nutshell

AIJA is the only worldwide association established and run by and dedicated to "young" (under 45) lawyers. Established over 50 years ago, AIJA currently has over 3,000 members based in 90 different countries. It is a highly international organisation, traditionally focused on Western Europe but in recent years with an

increasing presence in the Americas, Asia and the Middle East. AIJA provides a platform for rising stars from private practice, industry, governments and regulators to discuss legal developments, share experiences and network with their peers, in order to develop their profiles and practices. Many AIJA events are held in conjunction with national or international bar associations. They afford a unique opportunity to connect, learn and share. This results not only in long-lasting business relationships, but also in long-lasting friendships. AIJA members are active and enthusiastic. This is reflected in the fact there are now around 25 legal seminars and national AIJA events held annually in different parts of the world, each attracting an average of around 100 participants, and some many more. Each event is organized by and for AIJA members. The showpiece of the AIJA year is its Annual Congress. This is AIJA's largest annual event and typically attracts from 500 to 1,000 participants from around 40 different countries, practicing in every field of law. Because of the size of the London legal market and the city's wealth of international connections, AIJA events in London are among its best attended. The last time an AIJA Annual Congress was held in London was 1991, almost 25 years ago. AIJA's 53rd Annual Congress is being held in London on 1-5 September 2015 and a fantastic turnout is expected. More information about AIJA is available at www.aija.org.

About the London 2015 Annual Congress

AIJA is delighted to be hosting its 53rd Annual Congress in London, United Kingdom, on 1-5 September 2015. This event is expected to attract close to or in excess of 1,000 lawyers. It will provide an outstanding opportunity to gain exposure to international legal professionals from around the globe. The Congress will be held at the Grange St. Paul's Hotel. The Grange St. Paul's is located in the heart of London, between the City and West End, adjacent to the Inns of Court and Royal Courts of Justice in London's legal district, and close to the South Bank. It is therefore optimally situated both for business and social activities, with much of central London within walking distance. The Congress will run from the Welcome Reception on Tuesday 1 September to the Gala Dinner on Saturday 5 September 2015. It is being organized by a committee of lawyers from 18 leading UK and US firms of solicitors and barristers' chambers, all of whom know AIJA, the legal market and London very well, and are therefore confident the event will be a success. The Congress will feature a series of high quality legal seminars organized by the different working groups (known as "Commissions") of AIJA. These will cover the full range of legal practice areas. The seminars will include speakers from with AIJA as well as high profile external speakers, and are expected to be strong draw for attendees from within and outside AIJA alike. An active social life is part of the unique AIJA “spirit” and throughout the week there will be social events for participants. The Congress will begin on the evening of Tuesday 1st September with a Welcome Reception for delegates at the Grange St. Paul's Hotel. On evening of Wednesday 2nd the Opening Ceremony features introductions from keynote speakers and entertainment. The evening of Thursday 3rd will be Home Hospitality. This is an AIJA tradition in which local lawyers host small groups of delegates at their homes. With around 1,000 delegates expected, lawyers across London will be hosting dinners this evening. Friday 4th will be the Congress Day Out – a daytime visit to a unique location out of the city, followed by dinner at an outstanding venue. Finally, the Congress will conclude with a formal gala dinner on the evening of Saturday 5th at The Brewery, exclusive venue in the heart of London. The legal and the social itineraries provide many opportunities to promote your business, services, products and brands. AIJA Annual Congress is a unique concentration of international lawyers, all with many years of their careers still ahead of them. For any business interested in marketing to or establishing a profile in the legal market, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

General information for Sponsors

Our ethos Whilst many delegates will have travelled to London before for business or pleasure, the London Congress' Organizing Committee ("OC") intends to hold an event which showcases London's legal community and some of the best features of the city to AIJA's members, and also promotes AIJA within London's own large legal market. Sponsorship is an important part of this. The OC is particularly keen that sponsorship is not just a one-off commitment, but gives sponsors a real opportunity to develop a meaningful connection with AIJA and its members. With this in mind, on top of the publicity opportunities provided to sponsors, the OC would like to offer sponsors the chance to get to know AIJA, the London OC and AIJA's UK membership, by having the chance to attend events in the run up to the Congress in autumn 2014 and spring 2015, as well as to send representatives to various events during the Congress itself. Sponsorship Sponsoring the 2015 Annual Congress in London represents a unique opportunity to connect, create long lasting relationships and do business with the next generation of top lawyers from all other the world in a relaxed environment. Becoming a sponsor of AIJA’s 2015 Congress is straightforward. Simply choose the level of your financial engagement and we will help you compile the best options to achieve the exposure and connections with delegates that you want to achieve. You can be specifically associated with particular events, such as the Welcome Reception, Opening Ceremony, Home Hospitality, Day Out or Gala Dinner. You can also sponsor specific legal seminars or coffee breaks and lunches. Whilst this document sets out a range of packages for sponsors, the OC is conscious that different sponsors will have different ambitions and one size will not necessarily fit all. We are therefore happy to discuss tailored sponsorship which matches how your organisation would prefer to approach the Congress. As a result, the messages you want to convey can be communicated to our membership in a non-intrusive, yet very effective way.
