Senior Lawyers' Committee
Formed in 2005, the Senior Lawyers Committee represents senior lawyers and has received interest from younger IBA members eager to learn from their experience. The Committee aims to combat age discrimination, promote mentorship, and facilitate global networking. The Committee organises sessions and social events, often in collaboration with other IBA committees, focusing on how senior lawyers' expertise can benefit the profession. Recent topics include discrimination, career progression, and mentorship. The Committee also helps senior lawyers find roles where they can share their experience, including in sustainable development projects through IBA member organisations.
