European Exchange Group
The New Lawyers Group (NLG) was established with a clear focus on young colleagues and their specific aims and interests, serving as an “entrance door” for young lawyers and putting them into contact with the rest of PEOPIL.
The major goal of this working group is to create a win-win situation in which young lawyers can enhance their skills and networks thanks to the PEOPIL conferences and other projects such as the new website, while simultaneously providing PEOPIL with fresh ideas and a vivid contact to the next generation of personal injury lawyers.
The NLG holds an annual conference each year. The first conference was held in London in 2014 with the last conference taking place in Madrid on 25 March 2022. This year’s event was held in Edinburgh on 3 March.
Aurélie van Dijk and Gabriela Lenarczyk are the Co-Chairs of the PEOPIL New Lawyers Group (NLG). The YLG was established in order that younger lawyers could become more engaged in the activities of PEOPIL. Any lawyers or law students who are under the age of thirty-five can be a member and may remain a member until the age of forty. Members meet foreign colleagues and learn from them through networking and the exchange of information. Members also refer cases to each other from various European jurisdictions.
