Overview

Australia lifted its restrictions in lawyer ownership of law firms some years ago. Some of the firms which successfully took advantage of this liberalisation, are now planning to scale their operations and services in to the UK. What can we expect?

Why attend?

This joint event involving the IoD City of London Branch and The Law Society brings together an experienced panel to discuss the potential impact of the emerging ABS market upon in-house corporate legal practice. The central question is how will ABS influence the future success of London legal services?

Who should attend?

This networking event will be of interest to those working in the finance, insurance and legal sectors, chief executives, chief financial officers, and in-house general council representatives.
