The President of the Law Society gets to go to some good gigs and earlier this month was no exception. Westminster Abbey, the House of Lords, Middle Temple Hall, Lancaster House and, of course, Chancery Lane itself were some of the up-market locations; the occasion was the Opening of the Legal Year, with invited guests from all over the world combined with the ABA Section of International Law ‘Fall’ conference with a record attendance of US lawyers here in London.
It was very enjoyable but also a very successful week showcasing the City of London as a centre of international law. My message throughout the week was of the pre-eminence and vibrancy of London as a place to do legal business.
