Dr. Pedro Montano and Dr. Gonzalo Lorenzo elected associated members of the IACL

The International Academy of Comparative Law was founded at The Hague on 13 September 1924, with the aim of bringing together prestigious academics in order to promote the comparative studies in all disciplines. Its foundation was part of the efforts to boost the international legal cooperation, which was an essential factor in the search of enduring peace after the World War I. Currently, the Academy has more than seven hundred members.

In August 2017, Dr. Pedro Montano and Dr. Gonzalo, both partners of the firm, were elected as associated members of the institution, which represents a recognition of prominent colleagues across the globe, but above all, a commitment of collaboration and work in the international field contributing to the achievement of the purposes of the Academy.
