The PEOPIL conferences offer a great opportunity to network and to share knowledge. Members enjoy discount and participants who are new at PEOPIL are offered free membership for the rest of the year if they sign up.

Beyond the irresistible waffles, world-famous fries, and of course, Belgian beer, Brussels is the beating heart of Europe — a symbolic and strategic location for a conference dedicated to justice. For an organisation like PEOPIL, with a mission to enhance access to justice, hosting an event in Brussels was both fitting and essential.

We gathered in the storied city of Kraków, Poland, for a two-day Joint Conference of the RTA (Road Traffic Accidents) and NLG (New Lawyers Group) SIGs. The medieval architecture and vibrant atmosphere of this former royal capital offered a memorable setting for an event teeming with expert insights, lively discussions, and a spirit of collaboration that epitomizes PEOPIL at its best.

We celebrated two days of interesting topics in the wonderful city of Athens during the Joint Maritime and Tourism & Sports Conference on 7 and 8 November.

14 & 15 March 2024

At the heart of the New Lawyers Group Conference in Paris (14-15 March 2024) lies the spirit of innovation and collaboration that the New Lawyers Group (NLG) brings to PEOPIL. Established as the gateway for young lawyers into the broader community, the NLG focuses on nurturing the specific aims and interests of young legal professionals. This event underscored the pivotal role of the NLG in shaping the future of personal injury law, providing a platform for young lawyers to enhance their skills, expand their networks, and contribute fresh perspectives to the field.

29 & 30 September, Dublin

On 29 and 30 September, delegates from 24 jurisdictions met at the Law Society of Ireland in Dublin for PEOPIL’s Annual Conference. During these two days, the most renowned personal injury lawyers and academics received exceptional education from conference speakers on emerging areas of law and litigation, had numerous networking opportunities and developed comradery with their colleagues. This event would not be possible without our sponsors – Kreindler & Kreindler, DEKA Chambers, Outer Temple Chambers and Doyle Dennis, to whom we extend our sincere thanks.

4 & 5 September, Florence

Joint Occupational Health/Workplace Accidents and RTA Conference

15 & 16 June, Thessaloniki

In the beautiful and historical town of Thessaloniki, capital of Greek Macedonia, the perfectly organised PEOPIL Occupational Health & RTA Conference could be nothing more than another successful event. Highly ranked and accredited in their field professors, attorneys and technical experts, mainly from Europe but also from other parts of the world, formed a very strong team of panelists and speakers, while all participants were warmly welcomed by the Athens and Thessaloniki Bar Association representatives, as per the well known Greek hospitality.

21 & 22 April, Paris

After a pause of over two years due to covid the long-awaited conference was indeed a great success. When we started the McGill /PEOPIL aviation seminar collaboration back in 2008 in Toulouse, France we were 17 participants, including speakers. That seminar included a much appreciated visit to Airbus and their 380 assembly plant.

2 & 3 March, Edinburgh

Our New Lawyers Group conference in Edinburgh was held on 3 March. The speaker line up was phenomenal and the venue was the breathtaking Signet Library. We were very fortunate to have Digby Brown Solicitors as our main sponsor and help us with the organisation.
