Vladislav Zabrodin, Managing Partner at Capital Legal Services, became the Vice Chair of the IBA Poverty and Social Development Committee (PSDC) after a 2-year term as Secretary-Treasurer. 

The Poverty and Social Development Committee is a new IBA Committee. The work, however, has been ongoing under various IBA auspices for many years. The Committee seeks to develop and apply law to enable all citizens to live their lives fully and to create a support system for legal communities aimed at fighting inequality and poverty around the world.

Its membership today is comprised of over 80,000 individual international lawyers from the world’s leading law firms and some 190 bar associations and law societies spanning more than 170 countries.
