A meeting place for 3,000 lawyers from across the globe

Over 100 Working Sessions in 5 Days
There is something for every lawyer engaged in international practice. Learn the latest developments within your own practice area, expand your knowledge of the law, practice and procedure in other jurisdictions, and engage in wider discussions on the challenges facing the legal profession today.

An Ideal Location
This Conference offers a fantastic opportunity to explore all that South Africa has to offer, especially at the present time when the exchange rate is favourable to many countries.

This is what last year's delegates had to say about their experience at Cancun 2001

"I enjoyed the opportunity of being in contact with a great number of colleagues worldwide in a very well organised environment"

"It was an ideal opportunity to build new professional relationships"

"A great way of extending my network, meeting people from all over the world and exchanging both professional and culture experiences"
