British American Bar Association - New York Chapter (BABA-NY)

British American Bar Association - New York Chapter (BABA-NY)

BABA-NY brings together lawyers based in New York who have ties in the UK. 

The group will have its inaugural meeting on Thursday, March 6, 2025 from 5pm-6:30pm at 295 Madison Avenue, Manhattan (one block south of Grand Central - enter on 41st Street between Madison & Park).

The goal of BABA-NY is to provide a peer group for New York based lawyers with a British background, British clients and/or British business interests. The group will meet on the first Thursday of odd-numbered months at the founders' offices in midtown Manhattan.

At BABA-NY meetings, we will: 

- Socialize with like-minded legal professionals

- Share information relevant to people with a cross-Atlantic legal practice 

- Discuss topics of interest to the group


We welcome all attorneys who are admitted to practice law in New York and/or the UK.

Refreshments will be provided.

She has fundamentally changed the way I approach my valuation in the industry by removing the 'cringe factor' from discussions around compensation. She brings a charming touch of grace to negotiations representing my company's value and supporting its reputation while simultaneously securing fair and equitable compensation. Don, TV Producer / Showrunner.
