13th St. Petersburg International Legal Forum scheduled for 19–21 May 2025

The first meeting of the Organizing Committee for the 13th St. Petersburg International Legal Forum took place on 30 October 2024 at the Russian Ministry of Justice under the chairmanship of Minister of Justice Konstantin Chuychenko. Participants discussed important organizational issues for the event and approved new members for the Committee.

Chuychenko spoke of the importance of the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum and its reputation as a place where experts come to engage in constructive dialogue on a wide range of legal issues. Roughly 5,000 representatives of the legal community from within Russia and 80 countries attended the 12th St. Petersburg International Legal Forum.

“One of the Forum’s main goals is to develop and expand cooperation in the judiciary. And we can see how every year the Forum attracts greater interest from a wider range of participants from within Russia, Asia, the Arab world, Africa, the countries of Latin America, and the CIS, SCO, and BRICS,” the Minister said.

“SPILF has always been a place for working out proposals to improve important legal institutions and strengthen legal authority. Knowing what the event has already accomplished, I have no doubt interest in next year’s SPILF will only continue to increase among international delegations and young professionals. I propose working within the main business programme as much as on the sidelines of the International Youth Legal Forum,” Adviser to the Russian President and Executive Secretary of the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum Organizing Committee Anton Kobyakov said.

The meeting of the Organizing Committee ended with the decision to hold the 13th St. Petersburg International Legal Forum from 19 to 21 May 2025 in St. Petersburg. The event is being organized by the Russian Ministry of Justice in conjunction with the Roscongress Foundation.

 

The St. Petersburg International Legal Forum was established in 2011 and enjoys the support of the President of the Russian Federation, the Russian Ministry of Justice, and the Roscongress Foundation.

Over the years, SPILF has grown into a major platform for experts from the legal, business, political, and law enforcement communities to engage in dialogue on how best to protect the rights and interests of private citizens and business, improve law enforcement in practice, and promote legislative initiatives aimed at developing legal culture.
