The vice president of the Queen’s Bench Division, Lord Justice May, is to take a road-show to key regions around the country next month in a move that is expected to see a number of High Court judges being stationed outside London.

May will chair discussions in Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds on 10-12 October that will be attended by a number of law firms, including DLA Piper, Addleshaw Goddard, Wragge & Co, Halli-wells and Pannone as well as chambers, law societies, local authorities and businesses.
