Hogan Lovells supports International Legal Forum hosted by the Office of the President of Mongolia

ULAANBAATAR, 18 May 2012 (Hogan Lovells) – Hogan Lovells is delighted to be the lead international legal partner at the forthcoming International Legal Forum hosted by The Office of the President of Mongolia and held at the Ikh Tenger residence on May 29 and 30. The theme of the forum is: Fostering inclusive economic growth through legal reform.

The Forum will bring renowned Mongolian and international legal practitioners and members of the business community together to discuss international legal issues that are relevant for Mongolia's rapidly developing economy and on-going legal reform. Consisting of high-profile panel sessions which will review the current state of Mongolia's legal and institutional framework in a local and international context, the Forum aims to create a common consensus among practitioners, policy makers and the business community to provide policy recommendations for enabling a legal and institutional environment which supports economic growth and business in Mongolia.

Hogan Lovells speakers at the Forum include Ulaanbaatar OfficeManaging Partner Michael Aldrich and partner Chris Melville who has recently relocated to our Ulaanbaatar office, along with international partners Jamie Barr, James Harris, Anthony Raven and Laurent Gouiffes.

The Forum will open with an interview with the President of Mongolia by David Pilling, Asia Editor of the Financial Times.

Also supported by the Mongolian Bankers Association and international media partners the Financial Times and Bloomberg, the International Legal Forum will be the first high-profile gathering of Mongolian and international practitioners to assess Mongolia's legal development over the past twenty years and debate whether we are on the right path.

The Office of the President intends that the Forum will provide a blueprint for legal reform.

Commenting ahead of the Forum, Ulaanbaatar Office Managing Partner Michael Aldrich said:

"We are proud of our strong track-record in Mongolia where we have been for three years now. To be able to support a Forum of this nature is a rare privilege. We look forward to what will be a realistic assessment of whether the laws and business practices in Mongolia fulfill the developmental aspirations we all have for this important country."
