ABA International: Your gateway to international practice
ABA International is the gateway to international practice for US lawyers with transborder practice issues and for lawyers outside the US. We help US lawyers transcend the legal, cultural and linguistic gaps in international practice, and we help non-US lawyers bridge the gap between their jurisdictions and the US, providing invaluable input and assistance multi-dimensionally. We are proud of the fact that ABA International has very close links with the major bars and lawyers’ associations outside the US. Our leaders are in constant contact with the leaders of the CCBE, the bar associations of India, Japan, China, Australia, Ireland, Belgium, Italy, Nigeria, Austria, the German Federal Bar, the Law Society of England and Wales, the Bar Council, the Paris Bar, the Danish Bar, the Deutsche Anwaltverein, the bars of Brussels, of Israel, the UIA, AIJA, the IBA, Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Korea, Hong Kong, Turkey, Lebanon, the Brazilian Bar, the Peruvian Bar, the Chilean Bar, and quite a few others – and we attend their annual and other important meetings on a regular basis – so the exchange among the world’s lawyers across the ABA International bridge is fluid and dynamic.
