IGAL membership provides a global forum for the professional exchange of ideas, firm management, and social interaction. Additionally, firms are able to avail themselves to national legal, accountancy and auditing services of the highest international standard.

   associations.

   language of IGAL.


ACTIVE PARTICIPATION
Primary IGAL representatives must commit to routinely participating in network conferences and activities. Each year IGAL members are asked to meet for our International Annual Conference, held in various locations throughout the world. Additionally, we encourage members to join us at our highly popular Midterm Meeting to capitalize on networking opportunities that serve to deepen personal and professional bonds.

REQUIREMENTS
IGAL conducts a preliminary due-diligence on all prospective IGAL firms, carefully considering their reputation via peer feedback and recommendations, listings in international directories and membership in other professional associations. Prospective members are then asked to complete a detailed IGAL Membership Application form and make themselves available to an on-site office visit conducted by an IGAL director or long-standing regional member.

EXCLUSIVITY IN TERRITORY
IGAL largely offers exclusive jurisdiction to members; however, this is dependent on the nature and size of the city or country represented. In a limited number of larger jurisdictions where we currently have representatives, IGAL will consider additional member firms.
