110 professionals of 16 different countries attended Pragma’s 2009 annual conference hosted by the Juristes Associés BFC law firm in Dijon, France.
The beauty of Burgundy’s landscapes as well as Burgundian gastronomy and wines were very much appreciated by all the people who attended this congress. People have also a pleasant recollection of the visit of Meursault Chateau’s cellars and the dinner and dance evening at Chassagne-Montrachet Chateau.
Special thanks to Joanna Znepolska and Kamen Tcholov (Braykov’s legal office, Sofia, Bulgaria), Jorge Vera, Carolina Vera and Marcela Afanador Burger (Vera Abogados Asociados, Bogotá, Colombia) who attended as new members.
Many thanks also to Pragma members coming from distant countries like Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico.
