Second LJUBLJANA PIL Conference – express registration up to 30 June!

On 10 September 2026, the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Law, together with the Institute for Comparative Law, will host the Second Private International Law Conference, a unique regional event dedicated to contemporary developments in private international law. The conference will gather distinguished academics, judges, attorneys, arbitrators, and legal practitioners from Slovenia and Europe to discuss some of the most pressing cross-border legal challenges.

Wishing to attract the international PIL community, while also promoting and enhancing Slovenian legal language, the programme consists of a morning session in Slovenian and of an afternoon session in English. For all speeches, abstracts will be provided in both languages.

International colleagues are thus warmly invited to the afternoon programme, featuring the following distinguished speakers:

Stefania Bariatti of the University of Milan,

Hans van Loon, former Secretary General of the Hague Conference of Private International Law,

Gilles Cuniberti of the University of Luxemburg and President of EAPIL,

Ivana Kunda of the University of Rijeka,

Marko Bošnjak, judge at the Court of Justice of the CJEU,

Ana Kerševan, State Attorney General of Slovenia, and

Judita Dolžan of the Permanent Representation of the Republic of Slovenia to the European Union.

The morning session (in Slovenian) with Vesna Rijavec, Aleš Galič, Jerca Kramberger Škerl, Andrej Bebler, Filip Dougan, Urban Vrtačnik, and Borut Leskovec, will focus on practical and doctrinal issues, such as the cross-border effects of enforceable notarial deeds, applicable laws in international commercial arbitration, strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPP), reinsurance contracts, the European Payment Order, cross-border property relations of couples, and international family law disputes.
