Europäische Präsidentenkonferenz

The European Presidents’ Conference has become a forum for dialogue, where the elected representatives of lawyers’ organisations in Europe engage in an exchange of experience. It is this principle of “informality” of the European Presidents’ Conference, together with an attractive social programme, which has proved to be successful for over half a century by now, without any interruption.

In addition to the traditional social programme, the working session at the Palais Ferstel is at the centre of the Vienna Advocates’ Deliberations.

During their stay in Vienna, the participants of the Vienna Advocates’ Deliberations are hosted by the Austrian Federal Chancellor and the Mayor of the City of Vienna.

The fact that participants from all parts of Europe but also representatives of international lawyers’ organisations attend the European Presidents’ Conference in Vienna, serves as a yardstick for the importance that the Vienna Advocates’ Deliberations have acquired for the legal professions over the decades.

The Vienna Advocates’ Deliberations afford a most appropriate platform, not only for exchanging opinions and views, but also for filling information deficits, debating different viewpoints and developing strategies.
