SSW Law & Beyond at IBA Copenhagen 2026
The International Bar Association Annual Conference returns to Europe this October, bringing together the world’s leading legal professionals in Copenhagen.
Our team will once again be there to reconnect with long-standing friends, strengthen international relationships and meet law firms, in-house counsel and business leaders with interests across Poland and Central & Eastern Europe.
As geopolitical priorities shift and capital is redirected, Europe is witnessing significant investment across defence, energy, digital infrastructure and advanced manufacturing. At the same time, the reconstruction of Ukraine, evolving supply chains and cross-border investment continue to reshape the legal and business landscape across the region. We look forward to discussing what these developments mean for businesses operating across Poland and Central & Eastern Europe.
