João Valadas Coriel, Managing Partner of VCA, will attend the 29th IUSFUL European Legal Network Conference in London this week, from 5 to 7 November.
IUSFUL is a network of independent boutique law firms across Europe. Founded in 2003, it rests on a simple idea: when a client needs help outside their home country, their lawyer knows exactly who to call. VCA is the network’s member firm in Portugal.
The programme
This year’s edition is hosted by CH. Hausmann & Co., the network’s London member. The main meeting takes place on Friday 6 November at the Palace of Westminster, with The Lord Pannick KC as host. The agenda includes:
- a review of the referrals exchanged between members since the last meeting;
- the presentation and admission of a new member firm from Athens;
- the choice of venue and date for the 2027 meeting.
Across the three days, the programme also leaves room for more informal moments, which is often where working relationships between colleagues are really built.
Why it matters to our clients
Many of our clients have families, businesses and assets that cross borders. Being part of a network like IUSFUL means that, whenever a matter calls for advice in another European jurisdiction, we can introduce them to lawyers we know personally and who share our way of working.
These annual meetings are where that trust is renewed, face to face. João looks forward to reconnecting with colleagues from across the network in London and to welcoming its newest members.
