We wish the ECA Forum, led by a new generation of law firms' partners, a successful new life, many great initiatives and ideas, professional achievements, contacts, and discoveries!

The Forum veterans are now serving as Honorary Advisors to the new Organizing Committee, and we will be very happy to see everybody on 15-19 June 2015 in Ukraine!
