Sometimes it’s not about the big things…

One of the real strengths of our network is the way members make time for each other when travel or client work brings them into the same city. 

These meetings are rarely grand or formal, yet they often do more to strengthen relationships than months of emails or calls.  Being in the same room gives conversations a different quality.  You learn how someone thinks, you talk and laugh together, you get a feel for their market, and trust builds in a way that helps everyone work better and more closely.

MI Gathering at the IBA Annual Conference 2025 in Toronto

Every year at the annual IBA conference, our local firm hosts an informal gathering for any MI members attending.

This year, Loopstra Nixson in Toronto created a morning oasis for us and got us all going with a breakfast reception, allowing us to network and ‘fuel-up’ for the day!

Thank you to Loopstra attorneys who came in force and welcomed MI visitors from Palestine, the UK and across Latin America.  The only disappointment was having no time to take advantage of their pool table in reception!

The ‘silent power’ of an international network

After the AGM, four of our LatAm firms visited Shanghai on a relationship-building and business development trip to meet law firms and business leaders. Yang Jun at Jade & Fountain made several business introductions for them.

One of the Chinese business leaders who was not available, reviewed the LatAm firms and their websites and her company subsequently decided to engage our member firms for a matter in Latin America.

Being part of a significant, dynamic international network gives you leverage.

Our members are continually connecting through informal meet-ups worldwide. Members from UK, US, Spain, France, Philippines and India fostered connection, collaboration and inspiration. 

If your firm has hosted or visited fellow members, we’d absolutely love to hear about it! Send us your photos and stories, and we’ll share them on our website to celebrate the strength of our global network. 

Don’t just observe our future - shape it. 

Momentum, Meaning and Minneapolis! There are moments when you realise you’re part of something that matters. Our Emerging Leaders gathering in Minneapolis simply buzzed with connection, curiosity and a shared sense of what’s possible when you bring the next generation together.

We came for the networking, sure but there was lively debate about generational shifts in law firm culture, covering essential stuff like what’s working, what’s not, and how we build something better.

Huge thanks to the Arthur Chapman team for hosting us so warmly and so generously.
