International Bar Association Section
on Business Law
In 1970 the Council of the International Bar Associ-
ation, which is a non-political Federation of Bar
Associations and Law Societies, decided to establish a
Section on Business Law. The IBA itself now has 65
member organisations from 49 countries and 2,800 indi-
vidual lawyers actively participating in its work as
patrons and subscribers. Of these, over one-third have
already joined the Section on Business Law.
The Section was formed to provide a direct link
between the many lawyers throughout the world con-
cerned with the legal problems arising from inter-
national trade and business of all kinds. It offers the
opportunity of discussing common problems verbally
and by correspondence and of making personal con-
tacts and in finding correspondents amongst lawyers
from all over the world having similar interests. Mem-
bership is open to all IBA patrons and subscribers on
payment of an additional US $10.
The work of the Section is divided between the 20
committees listed below and members may participate
in the work of as many committees as they wish upon
payment of an additional US $10 per committee for
the second and any subsequent committee. Much of
the work of the committees, which is decided upon by
the committee chairman in consultation with his mem-
bers, is undertaken by correspondence, but periodic
meetings are also held. All committees met during the
IBA Monte Carlo Conference in September 1972 and
plans are being made for them to meet again in London
in November 1973.
The section publishes its own Journal bi-annually
which contains reports of the work of each committee
and contributed articles from experts in fields of busi-
ness law. During 1973 a directory listing the names,
addresses and committee membership of all members
of the Section will be sent to all Section members. The
directory will be revised at regular intervals in order to
keep it up-to-date.
The Officers and Council of the Section for 1973 are
as follows :
Chairman, George C. Seward (USA).
Vice-Chairman, Colin McFadyean (England).
Secretary, Jacques Lassier (France).
