PAMPLONA: July 3rd - 4th 2009
Please find our pre-programme and updated info on http://www.jurismus-international-meeting.com/
We started on Friday afternoon. First our colleagues Krzysztof Bąk and Piotr Ładoń (Nowakowski i Wspólnicy, Warszawa) gave a presentation on Polish competition law. The subject was that interesting, that we had a discussion on this matter. Next, Błażej Sarzalski (Ślązak, Zapiór i Partnerzy, Katowice) initiated a new form of networking, as he “forced” each of us to give a short talk on one of the subject matters we determined a moment earlier. This way the information about us were not limited to the law firm and the specialization.
Following, we spent the evening in Czarcie Kopyto (Devil’s hoof), where the tables were weighted down with the number of Polish delicacies and we were entertained by two lovely highlanders. We also found out who of us is the best in blowing the mountain horn.
Saturday morning we started with General Assembly. We watched a speech by the President of Eurojuris Polska – Adam Krause (Nowakowski i Wspólnicy, Warszawa). We were given a new task – drafting the general terms and conditions of providing services by EJP. We have chosen our National Representative – Marta Miszczuk (Nowakowski i Wspólnicy, Warszawa) was reelected.
Next, we had the opportunity to learn about business and social etiquette from Mr. Adam Jarczyński from Polish PR Agency, including clothing, behaviour in the office, protocol, as well as behaviour at the table, which we could test in practice immediately after the seminar.
The evening started with a dinner at the hotel, followed by disco with karaoke. Now we know, who sings the best and who – just loudly ;-)
We all want to express our acknowledgement and thanks to Sławomir Derek (Ślązak, Zapiór i Partnerzy, Katowice), who organized and watched over the congress. It’s a pity that you couldn’t make it. Next year we plan to make our Jurismus congress even more accessible, as it will probably take place in Gdańsk. We hope to meet you all there!
On July 2nd, EUROJURIS FRANCE organized for Parisian Jurismussers a meeting at the National Assembly. 
The next Jurismus France meeting will take place in Château Suduiraut (BORDEAUX) on November 14th-15th.
The Norwegian Young Bar Association Magazine came to our Jurismus International Meeting. The article is now online: http://www.jurismus-international-meeting.com/souvenir.php
Thanks to the Niihau Table, Jurismus now has its own hymn. June 7th.
Enjoy the video :-)

Dear Colleagues
Since January 1st, I have the honour to run the management of the Jurismus International Network.
The latest elections (November 2007) also gave our group the opportunity to strengthen the Board, which is now leaded by 6 more young forces: Niko GEIBEN (SAARLOUIS, GERMANY), Olivier VIBERT (PARIS, FRANCE), Rasmus LUND (COPENHAGEN, DENMARK), Tim BECKER (DARMSTADT, GERMANY), Victoria CAELLES (BREMEN, GERMANY), Stefan DAUBNER (DUSSELDORF, GERMANY) and our Secretary General Marjolaine RATIER (PARIS, FRANCE).
Former Presidents Robert WOLLWEBER, Valérie CREVECOEUR, Thilo GRUTSCHNIG and Rasmus LUND have set up and developed this 8-year old group on national and international levels. Their efforts have made concrete results:
This last point deserves an explanation for those who did not attend the Budapest meeting (2007). We were able to show relevant figures about the business made within Jurismus, since we carry out a survey on the issue each year. In 2007, more than 109 000 € were dealt between 16 young lawyers. Jurismus is a small network where people know and trust each other.
More than fun and pleasure to meet again, Jurismus is a tool any of you can use. Associate or Partner, Jurismus is :
According to the latest session we had with the Jurismus International Board (feb 16th), our next main goals should be:
Most of all, Jurismus is now a wonderful place for creativity in business where each one of you can take part. I will be very happy to welcome you to our next Jurismus International meeting in Oslo (June 5th- 8th) http://www.jurismus-international-meeting.com/.
Let’s also participate to our forum: http://jurismus.freeforum.org/ and keep in touch with our blog : http://www.jurismus.blogspot.com/.
Best regards,
François HERPE
President of Jurismus International

Member of EUROJURIS FRANCE
Olivier VIBERT I wish more and more French lawyers will attend international meeting and I will make sure good promotion is made on the Oslo meeting.
See you soon!
Jurismus Germany Meeting - Berlin 
Bellevue” with a guided tour by the President’s Chief of Protocol the participants met at the law office of Ziefle - v. Bothmer – Heichel, where Tim Becker gave a presentation on warning letters and preliminary procedures – a very specific part of the German law of practice. At the following dinner participants had the opportunity to further discuss all aspects of this exceptional German law feature and to tighten the network with the other attendees which had joined not only from all over Germany, but also from Austria, France, Italy and Poland.
The next day was opened by a speech of Thomas Köhler who gave straight tips to master one’s basics of insolvency law, especially those dedicated to the lawyer-client relation. The following discussion focused on upcoming challenges for Jurismus, both national and international. It was introduced by a short presentation of François Herpe, President of Jurismus International, and International Board Member Niko Geiben’s report on last year’s international events. Moreover, Marta Miszczuk (Nowakowski i Wspólnicy, Warsaw), National Representative of Poland, gave insides into the newly established network of Eurojuris Poland. Participants shared their ideas of an innovative and living national network. Mike Bergemann then closed the meeting with a presentation of Baumann & Wilschke’s Berlin law office.
Business development
MAB is enjoying a period of rapid change and expansion. Just over a year ago we opened a new office in Milton Keynes, having acquired part of another firm’s former practice. The previous November, we opened an office in London. Both new office openings were publicised with launch parties, supported by a marketing initiative to current, former and prospective clients, highlighting our expansion.
Corporate and individual marketing initiatives
We regularly host marketing events, and encourage our people to participate. They’re also expected to develop their own marketing initiatives, with a plan for activities that fit within our overall marketing programme.
Press coverage
Our solicitors regularly write articles for journals and the press (for example explaining the impact of new legislation), effectively raising their own and the firm’s profile. Since these articles often appear in regional newspapers, such as the Milton Keynes Citizen and Watford Observer, and in national dailies, including the Times and the Daily Telegraph, we make sure they are relevant and interesting to both local and national audiences.
Making the news – our newsletters
Our quarterly newsletter, MAB link, gives us the opportunity to show how we take the lead on dealing with the latest legislation and other topical issues. We post the newsletters to existing and potential clients who express an interest, and also make each issue (and our archive) available online.
To ensure MAB newsletters are relevant and enjoyable, we maintain a balance between legal matters, business advice and stories with a broader appeal, such as the various events we sponsor, our own practice news and significant employee achievements.
Building alliances
Cross selling is another marketing tool we use frequently. Our website has details of our alliances with national organisations and local businesses, whose services we can suggest if they are appropriate to our clients. For example, if clients need documents translating, we have good relationships with translators and can recommend their services. Some referrals can result in reciprocal work for us, for example if our clients instruct an insolvency practitioner we have referred them to, we are likely to receive referrals back from that insolvency practitioner.
A leading role in the community
We have found maintaining a strong presence in the local community is not only a good way of fulfilling our corporate social responsibility, but is also an effective way of marketing our services.
For example, every year MAB sponsors the Watford 10k charity run. This not only helps make the event possible, but also brings us valuable local press coverage. It’s the ideal opportunity to work alongside other businesses – this year co-sponsored with Clydesdale Bank and Baker Tilly (a leading independent firm of chartered accountants and business advisors). Links like these are mutually beneficial, providing potential sources of business for all concerned.
We are also closely connected with Watford Football Club, through pitch-side advertising and sponsoring action replays on their giant screen. Besides regularly promoting MAB to thousands of spectators, this also gives us access to Watford Football Club’s corporate hospitality suite, which is a very popular venue for entertaining clients on match days. We’re now looking to establish similar community links at our London and Milton Keynes offices.
Attracting clients through networking and corporate events
Networking is a very effective way of reinforcing our business presence and meeting potential new clients. Our solicitors regularly attend breakfast meetings and seminars, and we also organise our own seminars and other events such as golf days, cricket days, spa days, charity balls and wine tasting evenings.
MAB is always looking for fresh and appealing ways to entertain, impress and attract clients. A good example of this is the Tower of London tour arranged by our Insolvency Department for an existing client earlier this year. MAB also has football and cricket teams who play against existing and prospective clients. These matches serve the dual marketing roles of further networking and increasing our presence in the local community. As with many of our marketing activities, they are not only remarkably effective, but also good fun!
