Annual Conference 2026

We are delighted to be holding our 2026 Annual Conference in Málaga, Spain
in collaboration with the local Bar.

As usual we will have Bar Leaders panel, which this year will take place on the late afternoon of Thursday 24 September. So far, we are in discussions with leaders of the Spanish, Málaga, Paris, Netherlands and English Bars, the Czech Bar have confirmed and as soon as the new Irish Bar Leader is elected we will invite them. We expect this to be a very lively session. We are also pleased to inform you that we have secured the attendance of Hugh Mercer KC (UK Judge at the ECtHR) to give a keynote address to the conference. The other panel sessions will take place on Friday 25 September, and they will mirror how our legal work runs in parallel with current events.

PANEL TOPICS:

Migration
Family
Advocacy in higher courts
Enforcing judgments

As always the European Circuit conference is an opportunity for lively debate with lawyers from across Europe. The conference sessions are designed to facilitate discussion among all present, rather than simply speeches by the presenters. The topics are always stimulating and often provoke animated discussion.

Conference is always a lot of fun and provides an opportunity to make new contacts and renew old acquaintances and ensure that delegates get an insight into both the legal and the social culture of the host country. To that end we are very much looking forward to our Drinks Reception, being held on Thursday 24 September (venue TBC) and the Gala Dinner on Friday 25 September being held a the Hotel Miramar (P.º Reding, 22, 24, Málaga-Este, 29016 Málaga, Spain) website

There is also the option of bringing a “plus one” to the conference who might want to attend the drinks reception and the Gala dinner only but without having to pay the full conference fees. They will need to be booked separately on the “plus one” ticket to the conference.
