ABOUT
This year we're bringing you a renewed and refreshed event!
You'll firstly notice the new date, Friday 29 October, and our two new venues; the John McIntyre Centre and the Royal College of Physicians.
We've developed a newly formatted programme to include targeted, streamed sessions for Commerce & Industry and Local Authority, to allow us to explore topics in greater detail relative to the areas we work in.
Both events are a wonderful opportunity to come together and share in the knowledge and experience of our speakers, network with other in-house and private practice lawyers, and build relationships with other useful contacts.
