Welcome to our new Chairperson and Committee Members

With great pleasure, we welcome Marc Gouden, from Philippe and Partners, as the new Chairperson of Legal Network International. We also take this opportunity to thank the outgoing Chairperson, Robert Gabrielski of Norris McLaughlin, for his outstanding contribution during his tenure and to introduce our new committee members.

Thank you to Robert Gabrielski

Over the last four years Robert Gabrielski has steered Legal Network International with unwavering dedication and commitment. His exemplary leadership, strategic vision, and tireless efforts have been instrumental in the growth and success of the network. We express our heartfelt gratitude to Robert and are delighted that he will maintain his position as a member of the steering committee.

A Warm Welcome to Marc Gouden

With a sense of optimism and enthusiasm, we extend our warmest welcome to Marc Gouden, who assumes the mantle of leadership as our new Chairperson. Marc brings with him a wealth of knowledge and expertise, honed through years as a partner at the successful commercial law firm Philippe and Partners, in Belgium and Luxembourg.  As we look forward to his tenure, we are excited to witness the fresh perspectives and innovative ideas he will undoubtedly bring to our network.

In Marc's own words: “I am honoured to accept the role of Chairperson for Legal Network International. Together with the members of the Steering Committee, we believe in the power of communication and knowledge-sharing within the network. Together, we will continue to strengthen the collaboration between our members, professionalise the management of the network and try to expand its reach in areas where it is currently less present."

Marc Gouden's commitment to the values of cooperation and professional development bodes well for the future of Legal Network International. We look forward to working together under his capable leadership to further strengthen our network and create more opportunities for our members.

Introducing Our New Steering Committee Members

We are also delighted to announce the addition of three new members to our Steering Committee:

Mohit Kapoor, Universal Legal will manage the onboarding of new members and the extension of the network with new jurisdictions, ensuring that they are seamlessly integrated into our network and benefit from the wealth of resources we offer.

António Mendonça Raimundo, Albuquerque & Almeida will oversee our finances, ensuring the financial health and sustainability of our organization.

Thomas Ricard, JP Karsenty will spearhead our communications efforts, helping us reach a broader audience and fostering better engagement within our network.

These dedicated individuals will work closely with Marc Gouden and the existing committee members to chart the course of Legal Network International into a bright and prosperous future.
