Polo Lawyers Plan Tourney in Morocco

In September 2018 the Lawyers Polo Association will host its tenth anniversary polo tournament in Morocco. This new edition of Lawyers Polo will bring together lawyers from all around the world to share a week of polo and networking.

The central idea of Lawyers Polo is to create the environment for the exchange of ideas and professional experiences in the most exclusive polo clubs in the world.

“Our goal is to generate sports, personal and professional bonds among lawyers through polo” explains Eduardo Bérèterbide, founder of Lawyers Polo Association and attorney at Shearman & Sterling in Paris.

Opening black-tie cocktail of the tenth anniversary of Lawyers Polo will be held in an exclusive residence in Tangier, Morocco. It will take place on 24 September 2018 and will be attended by lawyers, businessmen and polo players from all over the World.

The polo matches will take place La Palmeraie, the stunning polo club of Patrick Guerrand-Hermès Lawyers which has three polo fields less than 100 metres away from the Atlantic Ocean. The final matches, awards ceremony and closing party is billed for September 29, 2018.

Eight polo teams will be taking part in Lawyers Polo 2018 including players from Argentina, Austria, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Marruecos, Malaysia, Portugal, Slovakia, Singapore, Switzerland, Chile, Venezuela, United Kingdom and the United States.

Lawyers Polo was born in 2008 with the idea of bringing together lawyers, businessmen and polo players. The idea is that an international group of people meet once a year to share their passion in law, business and horses.

Lawyers Polo’s previous events were held in Buenos Aires (2008), Madrid (2009), Toronto (2010), Dubai (2011), Paris (2012), Bangkok (2015) and Sotogrande (2016). All of them have been a total success. Today, the Lawyers Polo Association is composed of more than 350 amateur players and lawyers.
