Our Most Significant Gathering of the Year
On 18 September 2026, the ForeignTrained Lawyers in Germany (FTLG) Network gathers in Frankfurt am Main for our annual flagship event, the most significant moment in our calendar.
Legal Lounge Frankfurt brings together foreign trained lawyers, German legal professionals, academics, policymakers, and diversity advocates under one roof. It is an evening built for inspiration and learning, for genuine exchange
and connection, and above all for the kind of actionable dialogue that moves our profession forward.
Whether you are newly arrived and finding your footing, well-established and ready to give back, or shaping the institutions that decide who gets to
practise — there is a seat for you at this table.
