Download

The Korean Bar Association (President Younghoon Kim) is pleased to announce that Korea has successfully secured the hosting rights for the 2026 LAWASIA Annual Conference. The LAWASIA Executive Committee confirmed Korea as the host country during a meeting held in Taipei, Taiwan, on July 11. This will be the fourth time Korea hosts the LAWASIA Annual Conference, following previous events in 1977, 1999, and 2011. With this achievement, Korea joins Australia and Malaysia as one of the countries to have hosted the most LAWASIA Annual Conferences.


The 2026 LAWASIA Annual Conference is scheduled to take place in the latter half of 2026 and will welcome over 1,000 legal professionals from 50 countries. 


The Korean Bar Association has made extensive efforts to secure this prestigious event. During the 2023 LAWASIA Annual Conference in Bangalore, India, the association hosted a 'Korean Night' reception to actively promote the Korean legal community and Seoul as a host city. They also met with LAWASIA officials at various international events to strongly advocate for Korea's hosting capabilities and the strength of its legal sector.


Hongjoong Kim, Vice president of International Affairs at the Korean Bar Association, stated, “We actively campaigned for this event by running for a position on the LAWASIA Executive Committee and submitting a letter of intent, which resulted in a successful outcome. As an executive member of the Korean Bar Association and the LAWASIA Executive Committee, I will ensure the success of the conference in Korea.”


President Younghoon Kim remarked, “This successful bid demonstrates the capabilities of the Korean legal community. We will continue our efforts to globalize the Korean legal profession and support young lawyers in their international endeavors, especially following the stagnation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.”


He added, “While we have focused on expanding the market by promoting Korean lawyers and law firms abroad, hosting the 2026 LAWASIA Annual Conference presents a unique opportunity for international legal professionals to experience Korea's legal excellence firsthand. I hope this event serves as a stepping stone for Korean lawyers to dominate the Asian legal market.”
