Welcome to NYSBA International!

For 25 years, we have been serving as the New York State Bar Association's embassadors to the world.

We provide an unparalleled network.  Our over 2,000 members live and practice law in different jurisdictions all over the globe.  We have more than 60 local chapters outside the United States.  And some 30 specialty committees covering virtually every aspect of the practice of international law attest to our substantive depth.  So if you need a labor law expert in Argentina or a corporate lawyer in Vietnam - have dinner with both of them at our next event.  We organize exceptional meetings in important international locations and are often the first state bar association to hold events in many such locations.  On this website, you can learn more about our fantastic events, our three well recognized publications and our work with the United Nations and other international bodies.

Join us today!  You don't have to be admitted to practice law in New York: anyone admitted to practice law can become a member of the NYSBA, our Section and its Committees and Chapters.  We are looking forward to meeting you.
