The Annual Conference, held each summer, is an important element for all members and for the development of Lexlink. It usually takes place over three/four days hosted by a Member Firm in their jurisdiction.

In 2010 the Conference was held in Oslo, hosted by our Chairman, Nils Pettersen-Hagh, in the prestigious Hotel Bristol, situated in the heart of the city. An Annual General Meeting takes place, where the Executive presents a report on the previous year's activities and this is usually followed by a talk on a subject of general interest. This year Nils gave us a most interesting account of how Norway is developing and Professor Rainer Schackmar from our Academic Board gave an illuminating lecture on the increasingly relevant subject of Mediation. Judge Ellen M Martens, Vice President of Oslo City Court, on her birthday, kindly attended and gave a fascinating insight into the Norwegian Judicial system.

In addition to the business meeting, a central part of the Annual Conference is the opportunity this provides for the delegates to spend time together, while sightseeing and dining with each other, thereby enhancing their knowledge of each other's practices and expertise to the advantage of their clients when they require an introduction to capable and reliable legal services in other jurisdictions.
