Next month, we’re heading to Bucharest for the bi-annual Interact Law International Conference! We’re delighted to be welcomed by our long-standing member CEE Attorneys -Boanta, Gidei si Asociatii who are ready to showcase Romania’s capital city at its very best.
We spoke with our hosts to get a taste of what’s in store for us all:
What are you excited about as the conference hosts?
October is always special at CEE Attorneys Romania as we celebrate our firm’s anniversary. Therefore, hosting the 2025 autumn edition of Interact Law conference will bring additional joy and excitement!
We look forward to leading engaging discussion sessions that are challenging and rewarding for both our network colleagues and guests.
How have you been involved in the preparations surrounding the conference?
We’ve been closely involved from day one, helping to design both the professional agenda and the cultural experience for our guests.
On the organizational and strategic side, we’ve worked with Interact Law to curate panels and discussions that address the real-world challenges our industry is facing across various jurisdictions.
Since Bucharest is also a city full of life and culture, we’ve planned evenings that combine Romanian hospitality, fine dining, and local traditions — creating moments for people to connect in a more relaxed setting.
Which part of the programme are you most looking forward to experiencing?
We are particularly eager to hear the debates on how the legal profession can adapt to a fast-changing geopolitical and technological landscape. We’re seeing new demands on lawyers — to be not just legal experts but also strategic advisors who understand business, politics, and society.
And of course, we are looking forward to the informal events as well — catching up with colleagues, enjoying a glass of wine in the Old Town, and showing everyone why Bucharest is such an exciting place to be right now!
