IRVINE, Calif., September 19, 2001

International Business Law Services (IBLS), the world's first complete source of legal information and counsel for the Internet and e-commerce, announces its participation at the Investments and New Markets International Fair (EMA Invest), from September 25 to 28, 2001 in Geneva, Switzerland.

Major International Law Firms are Joining IBLS as Charter Partners

With the changing international legal landscape, businesses need instant access to legal information that cuts through the news headlines and focuses on specific areas of industry. Subscribers to IBLS services have access to concise, accurate capsules on the latest trends affecting global e-commerce. In addition to summaries written in an easy to understand language by leading legal authorities, IBLS services include immediate access to actual laws and regulations, as well as direct contact and consultation with attorneys around the world. By participating, partners in the IBLS Legal Network gain international exposure to a powerful professional audience and potential clients. "Our Charter Partners are some of the leading law firms in North America, Europe, and Asia," says Jerry McGlothlin, Business Development Director of IBLS, and adds: "Presently, IBLS Charter Partnership status is available exclusively by invitation and we are very excited with the response and interest that our Charter Partnership program has generated."

Carson Wen, Partner at Siao, Wen and Leung, Hong Kong, explains: "We are pleased to participate as a charter member and we believe that with our experience in cross-border transactions, corporate finance and information technology we can play a useful role in the development of the IBLS database."

"I'm well aware that we are all grappling with substantially the same issues under very different economic, legal and cultural contexts. It does seem to me that having a database providing persons, from varying jurisdictions and cultures, a general guideline to the legal issues of cyberspace is quite worthwhile," says Charles R. Bowers, Partner at Delo & Bowers, LLP, Portland, Oregon, USA.

IBLS invites potential investors, strategic partners and charter members to attend EMA Invest as its guests.
