In anticipation of turning 50 this year, Tim Taylor, SJ Berwin’s head of international arbitration, felt he wanted to give something back to his favourite continent. His idea gained quick and widespread support. Three months later, International Lawyers for Africa (ILFA) was launched in March 2006.
ILFA is an initiative, led by SJ Berwin, in partnership with leading international lawyers, major City and international law firms and academics aimed at addressing some of the needs of African lawyers. In particular, it aims to address the need for all local lawyers to develop international skills and to provide an insight into how international institutions work.
