International work is quite a big part of being President of the Law Society. However, it’s mostly not about the glamour and more about hard work – albeit work that is immensely rewarding and, so it seems, delivering real results.

I just hosted a week-long visit by the All India Bar Association to England to show them how a liberalised legal sector works. I had a session with them explaining the benefits that would result and giving many assurances that we were not interested in appearing in court.
