About the AIBL

The AIBL was founded in 1974 as an informal forum for the exchange of ideas between in-house lawyers working with banks and multinational companies based in Geneva. Over time, the AIBL’s membership has grown to include lawyers working in private practice and with many different international organizations and NGOs. At present, the AIBL has over 150 members representing all sectors of the legal community in the region around Lake Geneva.

Luncheons with Speakers

The AIBL organizes regular luncheons, generally on the last Friday of the month at the Hôtel Métropole in Geneva. These lunches feature guest speakers on topics of interest to our members.

Each January, the AIBL also organizes a special luncheon entitled “Legal Up-Date: Recent Developments in Swiss Business Law and Practice”, which features leading Geneva legal practitioners who each provide a brief up-date on developments over the past year in their specific area of expertise.

Social Events

In addition to our regular luncheons and other professional activities, the AIBL organizes a popular evening dinner cruise on Lake Geneva each summer and hosts other social events during the course of each year, such as wine tastings and art gallery visits.
