About us

  The not-for-profit association namely, ‘International Bar Guild or IBG’ is a young society which works to harness the efforts of the legal fraternity towards the common goal of the development of the rule of law by academically strengthening the legal fraternity through joint initiatives, projects, programs and generating platforms for intellectual discourse. The foremost upcoming organisation for international legal practitioners, Bar associations and Law societies. Established in 2024, shortly after the visit of the first Indian legation of 33 lawyers to the United Kingdom, with the aim of protecting and advancing the rule of law globally, the IBG was born out of the conviction that an organisation made up of the world's lawyers could contribute to global stability and peace through the administration of justice. 

The IBG has considerable expertise in providing assistance to the global legal community, and through its global membership, it influences the development of international law reform and shapes the future of the legal profession throughout the world.

IBG works closely with professional organisations within the legal community throughout the world and involves its members heavily in its projects and activities. As a dedicated-to-Rule of Law Society, IBG seeks to advance and promote research, academic thought and new professional policies and practices concerning the development of law as a Learned Society. It works closely with academic institutions and other professional bodies across the world. IBG provides a wealth of professional information and guidance to support the professional and academic work of its members and also helps all legal practitioners alike. Through its academic initiatives, it includes articles, relevant case laws, professional guidelines and model clauses within the easy reach of its members.

IBG’s network of branches and chapters across India and the world offers members a valuable global network of other like-minded professionals to share views and experiences with. IBG and its branches organise conferences, seminars, lectures and social meetings which address topical issues in the rule of law/its development/law reform and allow members - and often non-members - to come together. It offers a range of membership services and benefits.

At the IBG, we understand that as our world continues to outgrow national frameworks, there is greater demand for international dialogue and collaboration, and in some cases, rules and guidelines. Since times immemorial, individuals and institutions have looked to such organisations to play a role in these endeavours.

We are trying to envision a better future for the legal fraternity and we invite you to join us.
