Welcome to the U.S. Lawyers Abroad Committee. The work of our committee is directed at U.S.-qualified attorneys who live outside of the U.S., or who live in the U.S. but travel or expect to travel and work abroad on legal matters. The goals of the the U.S. Lawyers Abroad Committee are: to help you to cope with conflicting professional responsibility requirements; to give you support and mentoring in unfamiliar legal cultures; to improve ABA benefits for those of you who live abroad; to provide networking opportunities; and to provide programs, articles and literature directed to your needs.
