The BSS is well known for the success of its Banking Conferences which have encouraged open and frank discussion about the challenges facing the Syrian economy and its relations with the global financial market. The Law Conference, the first of its kind in Syria, will focus on a broad range of topics as you will see from the attached preliminary programme.

The purpose of the Conference is not only to raise awareness on legal issues but also to assist members of the legal profession in Syria in the development of contacts and links with lawyers in other parts of the world.

A Fact Book will be produced after the conference which will highlight areas in which reform is required and in particular assist in the development of legal training processes within Syria and in developing links with lawyers elsewhere.

In addition to lawyers from the UK, USA and other parts of the world we are expecting lawyers based in Gulf countries to attend as investors from that region continue to invest heavily in Syria.
