International Partner and Head of Litigation Appointed Senior Co-Chair of the IBA’s Law Firm Management Committee

29th May 2025 | Paul Marmor | International, International Bar Association, Global Network

Paul Marmor has been appointed as the Senior Co-Chair of the International Bar Association’s Law Firm Management Committee (“LFMC”), which is among the largest and most prestigious committees within the IBA.

The LFMC is shaping and influencing the future of law firm development across the globe. Its  mission is to be the  leading global forum for the exchange of best practices and law firm leadership, through sharing and discussing concepts, experiences, knowledge and trends in law firm management.  The LFMC is open to all with an interest in this area, ranging from “big law” law firms to smaller, mid-tier, mid-market firms, welcoming senior partners, managing partners, emerging talent, allied legal professionals and General Counsel.

Established in 1947, shortly after the creation of the United Nations, the IBA was born out of the conviction that an organisation made up of the world’s bar associations could contribute to global stability and peace, through the administration of justice.  The present membership is comprised of more than 80,000 individual international lawyers from most of the world’s leading law firms and some 190 bar associations and societies, spanning more than 170 countries.  The LFMC has over 5,000 members.

Upholding the rule of law remains as important now as it was when the UN was created. Here Paul is with Polish Minister of Justice Adam Bodner who gave a keynote speech on what it takes to uphold the rule of law.  Minister Bodner was speaking at an LFMC conference in Warsaw on Building The Perfect Law Firm of The Future in the CEE Region.

Earlier in the year Paul co-chaired the main conference in the Middle East focussing on these issues, held in Dubai.

Through our membership and active involvement in organisations such as the IBA and Alliott Global Alliance, Sherrards Solicitors have the world covered in terms of our access to law firms and professionals at the highest level across the globe, at the drop of a hat.  These are not just names on a list – these are people and firms that we know well, and often very intimately, and we are delighted to share those contacts with you: the friends, clients and associates of the firm.

Recently, Paul chaired a meeting of the LFMC Officers at the IBA mid year officers meeting in Milan

Given Paul’s prominent position within the IBA, if you are interested in getting involved in the LFMC then now is the perfect time to reach out to Paul.
