Inter-Pacific Bar Association conference comes to L.A.

The Inter-Pacific Bar Association will hold its annual conference in Los Angeles this year.

The four-day conference, "Many Borders, One World," will include more than 800 business and commercial lawyers on current developments in business law and practice in the Asia-Pacific region.

The conference will include a plenary and 39 short (about 20 min) educational programs on a wide range of subjects. The event will take place April 27-30 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel.

Los Angeles was selected to host the event because of its high concentration of lawyers and thousands of Asian-American lawyers according to the conference's 2008 chair Gerold Libby, a partner at Holland & Knight's Los Angeles office.
