10^th ECA (Europe-Caucasus-Asia) Legal Forum

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to provide you with the hotels information for the 10th ECA (Europe-Caucasus-Asia) Legal Forum in Tbilisi. The Forum’s main hotel is beautiful and modern Radisson Blu Iveria http://www.radissonblu.com/hotel-tbilisi, famous for its spectacular 360° views of our ancient city. The alternative hotel is a brand new stylish Rooms Hotel http://rooms-hotels.com/tbilisi/, which is a 7-minute walking distance from Radisson Blu Iveria. We were able to negotiate excellent special rates for you, and the reservation information is available at http://www.rulg.com/cisforum/hotel_bookings.asp. While making your reservation, please read carefully the terms and conditions specified by the hotel. All dealings with the hotel are the responsibility of individual delegates.

In this busy working season, we invite you to imagine for a moment several sunny days in June, exploring the ancient historic gem of a country– Georgia, brainstorming the most pressing professional topics, catching upon personal news, enjoying friendship, stunning scenery, centuries - old culture and the most delicious food and wine in the world!  You can glimpse here what’s awaiting you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ixuQmksTh

 This dream will indeed come true because our 10th anniversary Forum will be held in Tbilisi on 17-20 June 2015, hosted by our great friends-BLC Law Office!

The registration for the 10th Forum will start on 6 April and will close on 1 June. The Program will be available at the time of registration, but as always we are preparing excellent panels on important topics, including the interactive “audience panel” (held jointly with the leadership of IBA), as well as interesting professional workshops. In addition to busy professional schedule, we will have a splendid social agenda, including by popular demand the Tenth Forum Cup between the Forum International Team and the Host Country Team in the afternoon of 19 June. There will also be a separate cultural Program offered for the Guests of the Forum Delegates on 18-19 June. As always, registered Guests will be included in all Forum’s social events.

We will keep you informed on the logistics as our preparations progress, but at this time, we ask you to please save the dates and make sure that you also reserve the weekend of 20-21 June for our busiest social program yet. We know that many of you would like to stay in Georgia for a few more days after the Forum to see the sights, so we will also select the best local travel agency to help organize your trip.

The Forum is the main platform in our economic region for the wide-scale gathering of leading business lawyers. It is held annually in the different cities of the region chosen by the delegates. From the first Forum in Kiev in June 2006, the Forum has evolved into an informal network of managing and senior partners of national law firms from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, bringing them together with partners from international law firms from around the world.

The 10th Forum will be the last one in its current format, and the last one for our RULG team, so we want to have the best one ever in Tbilisi! Georgia is the native land for all members of our team, and we, together with our Host Firm BLC Law Office, promise to do our absolute best to make it a memorable experience for you.

Please save the dates of 17-20 June 2015 and reserve your hotel. We look forward to seeing you in Tbilisi!

Co-Chair of the ECA Legal Forum,

Irina Paliashvili, RULG-Ukrainian Legal Group, P.A.
