IBA Conference on “Lawyers in the fight against corruption – views from the frontline”

On 12 and 13 March I attended the 10th Annual International Bar Association Conference on “Lawyers in the fight against corruption – views from the frontline” at the OECD Conference Centre in Paris. The conference was well attended by lawyers and professionals from 42 countries, including from as far afield as Costa Rica, Jordan and Nigeria. Speakers included both prosecution and defence lawyers, as well as representatives of companies who spoke about the practical difficulties they face in their attempts to combat corruption in the supply chain.
