Business Wire

CHICAGO, October 19, 2026--Neal Gerber Eisenberg (NGE) will welcome more than 150 lawyers from around the world to Chicago for the Interlaw 2026 Annual Global Meeting, October 21-23. The gathering marks the first Interlaw Annual Global Meeting held in Chicago and the network's first in the United States in nearly a decade.

Themed Crossroads to the Future: Leading with Purpose in a Changing World, the three-day meeting will bring together Interlaw members for substantive programming, collaborative discussions, and opportunities to deepen the relationships at the heart of the global network. The program will include professional development sessions, team-building and networking experiences, and a keynote address, culminating in a closing celebration at the new Obama Presidential Center.

"Interlaw allows an independent firm like ours to offer clients trusted legal resources around the world while creating opportunities for us to assist clients of our Interlaw colleagues here in the United States," said NGE Managing Partner Robert G. Gerber. "But the strength of a network like Interlaw ultimately comes from relationships. We are excited to bring our colleagues to Chicago, introduce them to a city we are incredibly proud to call home, and create opportunities to learn from one another and build connections that will continue well beyond the meeting."

Long regarded as a crossroads of America, Chicago provides a fitting setting for a global gathering centered on connection and collaboration. Delegates will experience the city throughout the week, from a hands-on, deep-dish pizza-making experience at Lou Malnati's and an interactive exploration of Chicago to a behind-the-scenes experience with the Chicago Bulls.

The AGM will also include Interlaw Cares, through which visiting delegates support a community program. This year's program will introduce delegates to the All Stars Project of Chicago and its distinctive approach to youth development through performance. NGE has a long-standing relationship with All Stars; the Chicago chapter was started in 2007 by former NGE employee David Cherry. NGE COO Sonia Menon serves as chair of the All Stars Project of Chicago Board and serves on the organization's national board.

"The value of a global network lies in the strength of its connections," said Interlaw Global Chair Michael Pattinson.
