We’ve just wrapped up our 14th Annual General Meeting … and it was another huge success! Our hosts, Belgium member firm Litiguard Advocaten, organized a fantastic 2 ½ days for our network in the beautiful city of Antwerp.

Our members joined from all over and got to catch up, pick each other’s brain, sharpen their knowledge, talk shop and of course, share a great time together.

The Board wishes to thank the hosts Litiguard Advocaten for the care, ideas and time that went into the preparation of this great event, guest speaker Xavier Biot for broadening our minds and understanding of Decarbonization goals and challenges, as well as all our members for making Pangea Net such a vivid, active, high-quality international network of independent law firms.

DICL Practice Group – Newsletter 5

It would be impossible to ignore the rise of AI over the past few months – with ChatGPT taking most of the headlines but facing competition from Google’s Bard and from Amazon and Facebook’s own AI offers.
With AI taking the headlines of the day it’s easy to forget about some of the other news stories that were (and may yet be) the next big thing, whether that be the continued evolution of the GDPR, the rise of the Metaverse or the implementation of new laws around digital services.
It’s a challenging time to be a data lawyer – with lots of potential distractions. In this issue we’ve picked up various of these ongoing themes, taking the perspective of different jurisdictions

Pangea Net Annual Report 2021-2022

In a few weeks, we will finally meet again, after more than two years of a forced break. We, from the Board and our friends from Babiaczyk Skrocki I Wspolnicy, were so relieved to see that the virus wave is finally diminishing, which comforted us in our decision to maintain a physical AGM in Poznan, Poland. And then the war started… This year’s AGM seems to be defying all odds. I know that, to some of you, the mere idea of having a fun time while Europe – and Poland in particular – is hosting millions of Ukrainian refugees may seem inadequate. I am convinced, however, that even under these dramatic circumstances, this meeting makes a lot of sense. You may want to look at it this way: the AGM is – after all – a place where people from many countries gather peacefully with open hearts, exchange their views, open their minds to those of the other network members.

Pangea Net Annual Report 2020-2021

What a start it has been into 2020… with this mind-blowing AGM in India – my head is full of joy when I think of the time we had in Delhi and Agra. A great thank you and a big applause one more time to Pankaj and his team from ILG India!
