WLA ANNUAL INSTITUTIONAL GATHERING · 2026

UNBOUNDED™
BARCELONA
2026.

14–15 August 2026 · Hyatt Regency Barcelona Tower · The annual gathering of WLA partner firms, Founding Corridor Leads, and the institutions that shape international legal practice.

THE EVENT

THE ANNUAL WLA
INSTITUTIONAL
GATHERING.

UNBOUNDED™ is the annual moment at which WLA's global network convenes — partner firms, Founding Corridor Leads, and the practitioners who co-practice across the world's most active legal corridors.

It is not a conference. It is not an awards ceremony. It is a working gathering — corridor sessions, co-practice alignment, bilateral partner meetings, and the annual WLA corridor review.
