The International Law Firms (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 brought together independent law firms from more than 40 countries, creating a trusted global network built on relationships, referrals, and collaboration.
This year’s conference is focused on one key objective: business development. As Chinese companies continue to expand internationally, conference attendees will have unique opportunities to meet prospective Chinese clients seeking legal support outside China.
Highlights include:
- Visit to WeChat Headquarters
- Meetings with Chinese and European business chambers
- Visit to the Guangzhou Arbitration Commission
- “Go Global Chinese Companies” networking sessions
- Discussions on AI and the future of legal practice
- Pearl River Cruise and cultural experiences in Guangzhou
Members are encouraged to attend prepared to showcase their firm’s capabilities, strengthen referral relationships, and explore new international business opportunities.
Guangzhou is more than an annual meeting. It is an opportunity to build the trusted relationships that drive cross-border legal work and client referrals across the ILF network.
