The ILF 2026 Annual Conference will take place in Guangzhou, China, from 11-15 November 2026, hosted by PW & Partners Law Firm.
Since 1998, ILF has connected independent law firms across more than 40 countries through trusted relationships, referrals, and collaboration. This year’s conference is designed with a strong focus on business development and international networking, particularly with Chinese companies seeking legal support in jurisdictions outside China.
Conference highlights include visits to WeChat Headquarters and the Guangzhou Arbitration Commission, meetings with Chinese and European business chambers, discussions on AI and the legal profession, and opportunities to meet potential Chinese clients looking to expand internationally.
Members are encouraged to attend prepared to showcase their firm’s capabilities, strengthen referral relationships, and explore new cross-border opportunities.
More than an annual meeting, Guangzhou will be an opportunity to deepen professional relationships, create new business opportunities, and reinforce the trust that has defined ILF for nearly three decades.
We look forward to welcoming our members to Guangzhou this November.
