Building on the success of our two previous visits to the UAE, we will be visiting Dubai from 31 March to 2 April 2026. Applications are now open to attend as a speaker or delegate.
This year's visit will focus on family law and related private client work, with emphasis on recent legal reforms in the UAE and their implications for cross-border practice.
Overseas visits and conferences are open to barristers who subscribe to the Bar Representation Fee.
Join us in Dubai
We're looking for barristers who can serve as ambassadors and engage in rich and meaningful dialogue about shared challenges and opportunities among the global profession. This is a great opportunity to meet with law firms and legal institutions, where you can discuss opportunities, learn more about their work, and form valuable relationships.

This visit is open to barristers with the following expertise:
- Family law
- Chancery law (such as trusts, estates, succession planning, family offices or private wealth matters)
Applicants should have experience or an interest in developing your understanding of the UAE legal market and engaging in discussions around cross-border family and private client issues.
This visit to the UAE is open to barristers who subscribe to the Bar Representation Fee.
