This years’ Annual Conference was certainly one for the books: we welcomed many new members to our organisation, listened to inspiring and informative presentations from lawyers from all over Europe and beyond, elected new Executive and General Board members and… got to know each other even better!
On 2 September 2022, Josée van de Laar, who in everyday life was a lawyer and mediator with Beer advocaten in Amsterdam, passed away. She was a member of Peopil from its beginning and attended numerous conferences: the annual ones and many in a smaller setting, usually accompanied by her tree-tall Gerard.
Another great American Association for Justice Convention in the books! The AAJ Annual Conventions is where accomplished trial lawyers come together to discuss the latest developments in trial advocacy, specialized topics, best practices and new ways to advocate for our clients.
One of PEOPIL’s ten European Exchange Groups, the Young Lawyers, held their annual conference on 24-25 March 2022 in Madrid, Spain.
The YLG brings together the best and brightest young personal injury lawyers, enabling them to initiate new contacts, share experiences and build each other up in pursuing their careers.
Our Annual Conference in Málaga took place on 15 & 16 October and we had the pleasure of welcoming 100 delegates at the Colegio de Abogados.
A heart felt thank you to all who made this conference to a success, especially our sponsors: Beer Advocaten, Cremades & Calvo-Sotelo, Irwin Mitchell, Kreindler LLP and TransAtlantic International Legal Services.
It is an honour to be addressing these words to you as the newly elected president of PEOPIL.
With energy still flowing from the fantastic annual conference we held in Malaga on the 14th to the 16th of October this year, I am grateful for the enormous privilege I have been granted to serve this great organisation.
As you are aware, and as we have had the opportunity to discuss on numerous occasions, the past months have been filled with challenges for PEOPIL. Challenges that we have similarly faced in our professional and personal lives. I can only, therefore, insist on how grateful I am for the work that our Past President, John Beer, and Executive Board have done to keep our organisation at full speed in such difficult times. Their efforts and commitment will certainly facilitate the tasks before me.
