16th International Pacific-Bar Associaiton Conference

About IPBA

The Inter-Pacific Bar Association ("IPBA") is an international association of business and commercial lawyers with a focus on the Asia-Pacific region. Members are either Asia-Pacific residents or have a strong interest in this part of the world. The IPBA was founded in April 1991 at an organizing conference held in Tokyo attended by more than 500 lawyers from throughout Asia and the Pacific. Since then it has grown to become a pre-eminent organization in the area of Asia law and business with a membership of over 2,000 lawyers from 75 jurisdictions around the world.

The IPBA aims to provide an opportunity for business and commercial lawyers to network with lawyers of similar interests and fields of practice, and also to stay abreast with latest development in the areas of practice. Supported by major Bar Associations, Law Societies and other Organizations, the IPBA is playing a significant role in fostering ties among members of the professions.

Sydney In Profile

The visual excitement and variety of the harbour city is matched by the diversity and energy of its four million people. High-rise buildings of the central business districts look across the water at green headlands of the national parks and comfortable garden suburbs. To the west, the World Heritage Blue Mountains stand as a spectacular barrier to the inland, while the ever-changing moods of the Pacific Ocean dominate the beaches, which stretch for miles north and south from the forbidding cliffs of Sydney Heads.

The harbour is always busy with commercial and pleasure craft and it is easy for visitors to participate in water sports such as swimming or sailing or to enjoy the scene as spectators on a ferry cruise. There are many attractive bushwalks close to the city where the unique plant and bird life can be appreciated by day. Most of the native animals are nocturnal, but possums and flying foxes (fruit bats) are often glimpsed in the parks and gardens.

Dining out is a favourite activity in Sydney – the abundance of ingredients and the influences of many cultures make for great choices in style and cost. Sample "Oz cuisine" and taste some of the local wines.

Sydney 's cultural scene is vibrant. The Opera House with its graceful sails is home to the Sydney Symphony, the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Australian Ballet and the Sydney Theatre Company. There are many venues specialising in music from the classics to disco, theatre and film including those from the rising generation of young Australian directors.

Sydney looks forward to welcoming you to its shores to experience the endless variety and beauty it has to offer. For more information on Sydney and its surrounding regions, please visit the following websites:
