Annual Meeting @ work!

As the date for the annual conference in Tel Aviv approaches, more then 20 members and their spouses have already registered. The Steering Committee meanwhile is preparing the tasks for the working sessions.

Since organizational- and network-topics were addressed in past conferences, this year’s focus will be on opportunities and experiences concerning the approach of new clients, how to raise their interest and how to achieve customer loyalty. As an international law association, we would like our members to share their experiences which might differ from country to country. Every firm in attendance is asked to prepare a short presentation on its efforts to tackle these issues and the means used to do so (speeches, internet, flyer, direct telephone approach, conferences etc.).

A few firms will elaborate on the matter with an inside view of opportunities and pitfalls. We ask those who can provide input for an intense and interesting work session to inform the Steering Committee about their intentions before May 4th. We also welcome any further wishes for topics to be discussed until then.

Last but not least: please confirm your attendance to the conference a.s.a.p. so that Yoram Samuel can reaffirm the bookings!

Case studies

  • More galactic cases

    Throughout Europe our international association of lawyers has proven to be useful for clients of member firms.

    In one case, a German facade builder reaped the benefits of quick and smooth access to the Polish register of companies and insolvency data. This was arranged by the Polish partner office.

    Another international case concerned a Swiss/Uruguyan inheritance issue. The Swiss partner office Fellmann commissioned the RBB & Partner Office to carry out a German certificate of inheritance procedure for real estate located in Germany and to pay off any mortgages.

    Furthermore, a Swiss company was represented by the Fellmann office through the German Galexy partner to review its general terms of business and adjust it to suit German and EU law.

    In addition the Belgium office of Hardeman Hoebeek Warson Wouters conducted together with RBB & Partner the accident regulation with the German liability insurance for Belgian victims of a traffic accident in Germany and asserted compensation claims and damage claims.
