OAB SP
São Paulo, SP, Brazil
The Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil – Seção São Paulo (OAB SP) is the São Paulo state chapter of Brazil's national bar association, founded in 1932 with Plínio Barreto as its first president. It regulates and represents over 380,000 registered lawyers, nearly 3,000 legal interns, and more than 52,000 law firms across the state, operating through 257 local sub-sections and 947 service points. Its statutory mission includes defending the Constitution, the rule of law, human rights, and social justice, while providing professional support and development. OAB SP runs several affiliated organizations: the Caixa de Assistência dos Advogados de São Paulo (CAASP) for health and welfare, the Escola Superior de Advocacia (ESA) for continuing legal education, and OAB Prev for complementary pension plans. A notable recent initiative is the 'Anuidade de Volta' program, which refunds annual membership fees as credits for courses and events, impacting over 62,000 professionals in 2025. The current president, Leonardo Sica, leads a triennial elected board, and the organization actively advocates for lawyers' rights, ethical standards, and innovation in the legal sector.
The International Masters of Gaming Law (IMGL) is an exclusive, invitation-only non-profit association that brings together the world’s foremost gaming law practitioners. With over 300 members drawn from legal, regulatory, executive, and consulting backgrounds across the global gambling industry, IMGL serves as the premier professional network for gaming law. The organization’s core activities include hosting two major conferences each year—a spring event in the United States and an autumn conference often co-located with industry partners—publishing a quarterly magazine featuring thought leadership and regulatory updates, and maintaining several subject-matter committees that produce white papers and regulatory guidance. IMGL also presents an annual Regulator of the Year award. In a notable strategic move, IMGL recently entered a three-year partnership with IAGR and SBC, strengthening its role as a convener of regulators, operators, and legal experts. Unlike software or platform companies, IMGL does not produce commercial products; its value lies entirely in professional education, networking, and influence within the gaming law ecosystem. The association is governed by an elected President and Executive Committee, supported by a small professional staff.
