CTM Legal Group attorneys recently had the privilege of participating in a landmark moment for the international legal community — the 50th Conference of the Alliance of Business Lawyers (ABL), held May 27–30, 2026 in Vienna, Austria. ABL is a global network of independent law firms united by a commitment to cross-border collaboration and professional excellence. The milestone gathering brought together 88 participants from 31 member firms around the world, making it one of the largest in the alliance's history. Conference sessions covered topics ranging from artificial intelligence in legal practice and international arbitration to sustainability, cross-border investigations, and judicial independence.
