Kosuke Oie joined a panel at the International Bar Senate in Paris on the role of lawyers and bar associations in preserving freedom of expression

Kosuke Oie, Partner at LPA Tokyo and Deputy Director at the Office of International Affairs of the Japan Federation of Bar Associations, joined a panel at the International Bar Senate organized by the UIA Union Internationale des Avocats on October 31, 2024 in Paris.

This esteemed forum brought together bar association presidents and legal experts from around the world to discuss the crucial role these legal institutions and lawyers play in protecting and promoting freedom of expression as an essential component of democracies.

At LPA-CGR avocats, we remain dedicated to supporting initiatives that protect and promote these fundamental freedoms and ensure that lawyers can continue to advocate without fear or restriction.

Today, the UIA reaches nearly two million lawyers through its individual and collective members (bar associations, federations, associations) spread across the world.

The UIA is a global leader in defending lawyers, judges, and human rights advocates who are themselves persecuted in the course of their duties.
